Hello. [/img] I know people may scoff at this, but I bought this 6 lb tent for mountaineering and winter camping, and it's been great. The reviews for it are also very good and consistent. You absolutely cannot beat the price. Photo prior to storm in the Canadian Rockies above treeline: http://www.rei.com/product/794285/rei-arete-3-asl-tent Brad

This is the one I'm looking at. I like the fact that it has 2 ice axe loops for ice climbing, and only 310 grams, 26 liters, and seems to double as a compression stuff sack: http://www.rei.com/product/810835/the-north-face-verto-26-pack Brad.

Hi there. Up here in the frozen wastelands of Canada, it looks like Mountain Equipment Co-op sells them, but it also looks like due to some kind of wierd 'un-free trade agreement,' they won't ship them out of Canada. If you're making any trips to Canada or know people up here tha could mail them to you, it's at least one option. The exchange rate against the Cdn. dollar is good right now too.
