Couldn't find the original post or I would've sent this private.

I get GearMail from REI which is email notification of sales, specials, etc.
This was in the mail this a.m.  

I, of course, have nothing to do with REI or North Face, or anybody else for
that matter. :-)


*****SET UP CAMP WITH THE NORTH FACE*****
>> The North Face Coriolis Tent  <<
Sale $199.99  Comp. At $245
An excellent value! This comfortable 3-season backpacking
tent is built to withstand the worst wind and rainstorms. 
Features two doors with vestibules that provide easy access
and protected storage space. Large no-see-um mesh ceiling
panel for increased ventilation; factory-taped rainfly
and floor seams. Color-coded poles, semi-continuous
pole sleeves and locking pole tips make set ups fast and easy.

Whitney and Smith, the kayak tour outfitters, sell their boats
and tents annualy.  In their most recent catalogue they indicate
theya re selling "8 week old North Face Expedition 25 tents". 
For prices and availability contact them at (403) 678-3052,
info_at_ldgendaryex.com.

For what it is worth I strongly prefer the VE-24 "Guide" model
North Face tent for arctic travel rather than the 25.  The guide
has a more substantial floor, stainless zipper pullls and no
vestibules to accumulate black flys and mosquitos just outside,
ready to join you fore lunchor dinner whenever the door is
opened.
