The tent does reasonably well in the snow. While it certainly isn't considered 4 season and wouldn't hold up to significant loads, it will brush off lighter storms with ease. I also really like how the solid material runs further up the sides before the mesh starts. That really helps keep breezes and spindrift at bay more on those shoulder-season storms.

The Fly Creek is an ultralight, 2 1/2 to three season tent. I wouldn't consider using it for anything more. However knowing Big Agnes quality, I'm sure it could handle a slight amount of snow in an emergency.
