			Our family still has the tent we used about 50 years ago.  Its basically a 12x12 wall tent with a flat roof.  The flat roof would be a pain during the snow but she never leaked in all the years we have used it despite the moth holes.  Even survived a Kansas tornado once.  Tore a hole in it but a patch fixed that. 
 
I'm not a big fan of nylon tents.  Just never kept dry when it rained.  Yes it lighter and easier generally.  I have doubts wheter a hanging tent would survive in really nasty snow storm.  I would go for something like the Mash GP tent.  A pain to put up but a pretty decent home.
