I'm looking for a tent suitable to use at one of the campgrounds on the road to Perisher Valley, either Sawpit Creek or Island Bend. Not planning to go backcountry, but could camp at one of the grounds for a few weeks up to a full ski season (4 months).

So I'm looking for something I can stand up in, probably a 4 to 6 person tent that I can set up with a heater and have plenty of room for gear.

I was looking at the SC Ultimate 11 as around the right size, but not sure of its ability to withstand winds that could be steady at 100km/h and gusting up to 140.

A mate staying at Island Bend now said the most resilient large tent there this year (apart of course from the backcountry tunnel tents which are too small for an extended stay) is a yurt or bell tent picked up 2nd hand from a glamping operation. He has no details of make, model etc.

Can anyone comment on the performance of the SC Ultimate in high winds, or suggest a good quality bell tent that would meet my parameters?
