The Mt Washington OBS over the past month has been working with an outdoor outfitter testing new tents on the deck to see if they can hold up to "the worst weather in the world".

They were testing tents for Backpacker Magazine. This was the 6th of the mountaineering tents they were asked to to review for the magazine. You can read the observer comments here http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/, scroll down to the entry at 17:45 Sun Apr 25th. There was also info in their forum and Observer comments for March.
