I've used 4 season tents - and yes, it's much warmer and drier. The problem with winter camping in general is that it gets dark at 5pm and it's freakin' freezing so you end up having to spend way too much time in the tent and you're bored as hell. Not to mention getting up in the morning and starting a fire and cooking breakfast in sub zero weather.

I like snowshoeing and X Country skiing out in the woods, but I need a cabin with electricity and indoor plumbing at the end of the day.
