Road conditions in BC in early June
We have our summer trip to AB/BC and now AK roughly mapped out. Any major roads likely to be closed because of snow in passes? We plan to camp a few days, sightsee the area with our toad, then move 1...

I highly doubt that you will see snow on anything but the high mountains in early June, but in the mountains anything is possible.
I would be more aware that at time of year, the spring melt will be in full swing. A big snow year in the mountains means lots of run-off and full rivers.
You should also be aware that forest fire season starts about then and could affect your travel plans in a big way.
I second MDKMDK's suggestions for useful websites.
Just a few suggestions for routes.....
Highway 93 (Icefields Parkway) from Lake Louise to Jasper is awesome at that time of year
Highway 37 (Deas Lake Highway) from Kitwanga to the Alaska Highway near Watson Lake, Yukon is a scenic route
Also a side trip from 37 along 37A to Stewart, BC is neat.
Highway 2 (The Klondike Highway) south from Carcross, BC turns into US 98 and ends up in Skagway, Alaska. Very cool!
Where ever you go in BC/Yukon, you won't be disappointed if scenery is your thing.
