Yukon in September -- how late is too late for safe travel?

Dreaming of the Far North after mosquito season -- and I don't mind night-time temperatures in the twenties. Generally speaking, how late in September can we travel in the Yukon and Northern BC without running into major snowstorms?

We have chains for our truck (have never had to use them) and chains for the trailer (ditto). I can tow in snow and ice, but that is not my preference.

I understand that conditions vary from year to year -- but in general, when does driving (and towing) become unsafe?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
