• Get a tent.

    Bivvies are ok but not having a proper shelter in winter is asking for trouble and hypothermia.

    Well, no.

    People have been successfully sleeping in bivvy during winter, especially on the top of a snow covered mountain.

    Having said that, you'd need more gears to stay warm which a tent end up being lighter.

  • bivvying in alpine/winter conditions is not done by choice, by anyone...in the case of alpinists it's because they can't carry a tent and climb at the same time.
    unless you are an experienced alpine climber don't take a bivvy to alpine/winter conditions
