Yukon is still deep in winter, but it's starting to shift toward spring — which makes it an ideal time for a winter adventure that’s cold enough for snow activities, yet offers longer daylight and slightly milder temps than mid-winter.

Here’s what you can typically expect in early March in the Yukon:

Temperatures

• Daytime highs: Around -10°C to -5°C (14°F to 23°F)

• Nighttime lows: Can dip to -20°C to -30°C (-4°F to -22°F)

• It can feel colder with wind chill, but Yukon’s dry cold is often more manageable than damp coastal cold.

Weather Conditions

• Snow is still very common — it’s a winter wonderland.

• Clear skies are also frequent, which means:

  • Beautiful sunrises/sunsets

  • Northern lights (especially with the longer nights!)

• March often brings stable weather, without the deep freezes of January or the slushy transitions of April.

Daylight

• You’ll enjoy about 10 to 11 hours of daylight — sunrise around 8:30 AM, sunset around 7:00 PM.

• Enough daylight for outdoor adventures, with cozy dark evenings perfect for reflection and aurora watching.

You’ll need to arrive in Whitehorse by 3:30pm on day 1.

Depart anytime on the final day!

We classify this trip at a difficulty level of 3 out of 5.

This expedition offers a full range of winter adventures — including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and dogsledding — designed to help you connect deeply with the land and your own body. While we’ll be moving often and spending time outdoors, all activities are adaptable to different skill and fitness levels. Whether you're a seasoned winter explorer or trying these activities for the first time, you'll be supported every step of the way.

That said, the cold is real — and it’s part of what makes this journey so transformative. Embracing the elements can awaken something powerful in us, especially when we’re doing it in community and with intention.

Most importantly, nothing is mandatory. This is your experience. Feel free to participate in the activities that call to you, and give yourself full permission to rest when you need it. There’s no pressure here — just the invitation to be present, open, and curious.

Sleeping accommodations are based on double occupancy. If you're traveling solo, you'll be paired with a roommate of the same gender.

Alternatively, you can opt for a single supplement to have your own private room.

You will stay at two different lodgings:

1. Raven Inn and Suites

Raven Inn & Suites is a family-owned and operated business in the heart of Whitehorse. Experience their renowned Northern hospitality with modern, beautifully appointed rooms and suites plus a restaurant on-site. This hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the main street with restaurants and shops.

2. Boreale Lodge

Boreale Lodge sits on 16 acres of land nestled amongst the mountain peaks close to beautiful Carcross, Yukon. The lodge features a great common room (space for yoga), large dining space, a cozy library and huge windows for mountain gazing.

On-site activities: outdoor hot tub, bonfire, aurora viewing platform, toboggan hill, and snowshoe trails.

There is strong cell service in the main town centre of Whitehorse, and the Raven Inn has complimentary wifi (as does the airport).

During some activities where we're further from town (e.g. the spa, or northern lights viewing), cell service can be spotty or nonexistent.

When at Boreale Lodge, there is no cell service, but they also have comp wifi and a landline phone for emergencies.

Yes! Most dietary requests can be arranged in advance.
