Stuff, fold or roll? What method do you use to pack up your tent?

Thanks all for the replys Nathan

Climb: Rainier- Date of Climb: 12/30/2004 Trip Report: Looking to go from Paradise to Muir over new years. Would I be ok in snowshoes/ski poles, or should I rope-up and plan on using ax/crampons?

Are there any hazard hidden under the snow between Paradise and Muir?

Climb: Camp Muir- Date of Climb: 10/10/2004 Trip Report: Does anybody know if there is any new snow at Camp Muir?

Any opinion about REI elements?

I am a believer in gore-tex. It is not a miracle fabric, but I know is does breath and it is waterproof and most anything that has a gore-tex layer will do so. I know that there are dozens of waterproof/breathable fabrics on the market now. Most are cheaper that gore-tex. Are these just imitators, or are these equal to or better that the original? I hate to experiment my $300 to find this answer.
