Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"When packing light is essential, the Front Range Tarp Shelter is a game-changer. It’s spacious enough for four, yet weighs less than 2 pounds, making it perfect for alpine traverses or multi-day ski tours. I love how simple it is to set up with ski or trekking poles, and the zippered door rolling back completely is a great touch for stargazing or quick access. Whether you’re traveling as a group or just want space for your gear, this tarp performs beyond expectations."When weight matters and space is limited, the Front Range Tarp Shelter delivers the perfect ultralight solution for group adventures. Whether we’re traversing alpine ridges or setting up basecamp on a spring ski mission, this shelter offers reliable protection without weighing us down. With room for up to four people and a 5'4" peak height, this tarp is surprisingly spacious for its ultralight build. The zippered entry rolls back completely for sweeping mountain views and easy access, while the weather-resistant rainfly handles snow and rain with ease. The ski pole setup keeps packing simple and light, ensuring the Front Range is ready for any backcountry pursuit.
