Back in the winter of '03 I towed a 19' boat up from lower 48 to Eagle River, AK (retirement military move). I had good all-terrain tires and the truck and didn't have any issues other than -50 in the Yukon so plugged my truck in at night at the motels. The short daylight hours shortened up my daily distance versus summer travel. The trip was actually more enjoyable in the winter, less traffic and folks liked to visit at the roadhouses. Never saw a need for chains, roads were plowed and sanded. I did a return to the lower 48 trip this summer, COVID restrictions made it the least fun trip ever! Long travel days, no tourist stops, all provincial campgrounds were closed to Americans, with the only stops being for gasoline. We brought our own food and ate in the camper to have the least exposure with local Canadians. The RCMP will be watching you!
While we're on that topic, were you forced to quarantine for 14 days or did you just have to be out of the country by the date on the "hang tag"?
