Weather & clothing

Dressing for success

January and February in the Yukon is mid-winter. The average day time high temperature is -14C and the nights can drop to -23C. That might sound cold, but our dry climate makes it very easy to be comfortable. By planning for winter weather and dressing in layers, you’ll be comfortable day and night.  The Yukon is always casual; jeans, fleece jackets and walking shoes are the local “uniform”. Depending on what other activities you plan to do, here is a list of clothing suggestions for you to consider:

Personal Clothing Suggestions

  • T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts – merino wool or poly works best for insulating
  • Warm winter jacket and/or vest, plus an extra fleece sweater
  • Wind shell – should be big enough to go over the fleece jacket or a sweater
  • Long underwear (tops and bottoms) – merino wool or poly works best
  • Warm pants and/or snow pants
  • Gloves or mitts, scarf and toque (winter hat)
  • Good winter boots
  • Sunglasses (even though we only have 6 hours of daylight, it can be quite bright)
  • Personal toiletry items; including skin moisturizer (the air in the Yukon can be dry)
  • Personal medications

Whitehorse is the capital of Canada’s Yukon and is a very modern city. Don’t worry if you forget to pack something, there is ample time in your itinerary to get any items you might need. And some of the local tour operators even include winter clothing use in the price of their day tour. You can also find up to date weather/weather forecasts at this link: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/yt-16_metric_e.html 

 

Other Helpful Information:

Mobiles

  • If you are planning on bringing your cell phone with you, please ensure that you have made arrangements with your local service provider in your home territory.   Bell Canada operates the cellular phone network in the Yukon (note: not all phone companies have an agreement with Bell Canada and therefore your cell phone may not work in the Yukon).
  • Mobile phone access is only available in and around the communities – once outside of a community there is generally no access.
  • Phone cards for use on all pay phones and hotel phones are very economical for long distance calls and are widely available for purchase in the Yukon. 

Banking

  • Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard and to a lesser extent American Express) are widely accepted.  All communities have automatic banking machines for cash withdrawals using credit cards or debit cards.
