>>1110039If you are setting up camp for more then a day or two, ideally you would want to clear all snow from your intended campsite. One, so melted snow doesn't wreck your tent and two so you can clearly identify level ground..
This happen to Joe Robinet on one of his winter campouts in which he sleded in a canvas tent and small wood stove. After I believe 2 days his campsite was a pool.
