The pentayurt was the snow-resistant option in the original designs that
vinay released.
I was a fan of the pentayurt, because it also takes up less sq footage on
the ground in a large camp scenario, and it automatically has a bit more
standing-height room without addition of more panels.
Anyone find an American equivalent to Karton in large (~ 4'x8') sizes and
thick enough to be practical as an exterior working surface? Combine with
poly-iso?... also laminate with sheetrock on inside - fire, etc. Slide-on
"I" section extruded panel jointers...

I recall a design in which the roof was steeper to help the snow slide off
a bit. Not that I know much about snow.

https://www.karton.it/en/products/extruded-products/exalite-r this stuff is
about $50 a sheet in small quantities in Europe, so an equivalent product
could well be $20 a sheet in America.
Then bolts and metal brackets to hold it together, and maybe
Great ideas, but how to you protect the panels from rain & moisture?
