Regarding when to leave Alaska...
It isn't uncommon to have a flurry in September in southern Yukon or northern B.C. In recent years, we haven't had permanent snow until November.
People camp year-round up here though. If you're prepared (winter tires, good blankets, etc.) then fall/winter camping is a good thing. Before moving here we made two trips in December up the Alaska Highway to visit family in Beaver Creek, Yukon. Had temps to -40 on both trips.

Here's March 2013 with the fifth wheel: http://yukonsights.ca/20130328_Whitehorse-Rancheria.html
And more relevant to the question, September 2007 trip to Yukon and then back to southern B.C. the end of September: http://yukonsights.ca/2007SeptemberMain.html
This was a flurry on 17 September 2007 on the AK Hwy in B.C. This turned into an ice storm near Fort St John, B.C. that shut down traffic for a day.
