Hopefully you don’t have a specific date and a “ time allowance “ that you gave yourself for this trip, as road conditions and weather can add days to you journey “possibly” If you watch the weather, watch road conditions ( black ice ) and especially “take your time” you will be fine.
unfortunatly due to Covid and boarder rules, they will have a time restriction, and they are watching it now due to people being caught saying they were traveling strait to alaska and being found on the island or in banff...

Good point Steve, that’s in the rules for traveling through Canada to Alaska or back to the lower 48, there is a time limit for the passage.
However if road conditions dictate driving slower than the posted speed to ensure your driving safely, which means “ taking your time”, I would hope the RCMP and CBSA would take that into consideration.
I’m going to bet when they cross into Canada they will be given a phone number to call if “something“ happens to slow their journey through Canada, like vehicle breakdown, closed roads because of accidents, avalanche control, road conditions etc. Driving this route in the summer months is a lot different in the winter months.
If I were them I would be asking those questions ( what if?) when they get to the Canadian boarder, just incase.
