We had six feet of snow last year, with a max of 38 inches at one time. The GIB had no trouble with it. The structure of the frame gives it almost a gambrel roof (think barn), though slightly rounded. As a result, only the central six feet of the roof retains any snow at all -- snow just slides off the steeper outer slope. The color of the material that ISN'T covered with snow is dark, so the GIB heats up on the first sunny day, and all the remaining snow slides right off. I was amazed that on a windless sunny day when the temp outside was five below, the temp inside the GIB was about 50.
