I will be up there visiting family for a week after Dec 23, I'm wondering what events might be going on around that time. The ones I keep finding all seem to be before that.

I'm also hoping the glass blowing place is still up and running, that was so cool doing that the first time.

Anyone experience fleas in the yukon? We got them last fall for a couple months, they are gone now. But just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

Don’t want to swear the oath, don’t accept the position.

Bit of a weird one. I visited Whitehorse from Yellowknife for work last summer and fell in love. I’m now on a 16 month co-op ending September 2025 and I let myself go a lot physically while in university. I really wanted to get back in shape this year when I’m not in school and it has been going very well.

I’ve always loved the mountains and as a reward for getting back in shape I wanted to hike one. I’m extremely interested in hiking observation mountain in Kluane. It looks stunning, a good challenge and a fun adventure.

Im just not confident enough to go alone on a multi day hike. I’m used wildlife when hiking in Yellowknife so I’m not super worried about those encounters.

Curious what people’s opinions are that have done the hike and what some good fitness criteria I should aim to meet before committing to the hike. I don’t want to make myself a liability.

Thanks!

I went to go to the thrift store this morning and it was closed with a lady handing these out. I’m curious what is going on with this board that all the volunteers, who all seem very nice, have decided to stop work.

Hi everyone! My friend and I are planning on visiting Jan 2025 to see the northern lights & visit the city

It’ll be our first time! I already know we need layers (base, thermal, inner outer, etc) but my last hurdle is the boots. I already have timberlands, I’m going to wear 2 pairs of sock. One thermal inner sock and another thicker outside sock.

But when I looked online, I didn’t get any answers if timberlands can last in Yukon weather (especially around 1 am) Thank you!

lol, does anyone follow traffic rules in this parking lot, specifically within the Walmart/gas station/Starbucks corridor? would love to converse with the person/experts that designed this epic fail of a parking lot.

Anyone used Grey management services either as a landlord or tenant? How was the experience? Are they effective in selecting good tenants and resolving issues that come up?

I’ve got a few authentic Troy ounces of gold that I bought from TD Bank back in my twenties, each one individually certified. I'm toying with the idea of selling a couple back to the bank, but I’m also curious whether it would be worth my while to explore a private sale instead. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Just curious whether anyone's aware of any public(ish) viewing parties at bars, pubs, Legion halls or anywhere in the territory?

A Canadian paraglider pilot has a heck of a Himalayan adventure story to tell even though he was unconscious for a lot of it. Ben Lewis, who was five hours into a cross-country flight in the Himalayas in the Indian State of Himachal Pradesh, was sucked up into a storm and spit out at more than 24,000 feet. According to Cross Country Magazine, the publication that chronicles such pursuits, Lewis posted earlier this month on its XContest site that he passed out from the G forces of being spun up into the maelstrom. “The forces were so great I wasn’t able to sit forward in my harness and ultimately just hung there arched and resigned," he wrote. "I thought about trying to cut my lines with my hook knife but my hands were too cold. I was sure I was going to die." Instead, he was surprised to wake up dangling from a tree only a few feet above the ground. The ordeal was far from over, however. His flight tracking gear told him where he was but he didn't have any cellphone reception and he had to walk, with serious injuries, for two hours to find a signal. After contacting friends to come and pick him up, he was found by a local family who took him in, tended to his injuries and warmed him up. He ended up in a hospital with a frozen cornea on his left eye, a bleeding retina on his right eye, a ruptured eardrum, a fractured rib, a separated shoulder and frostbite. He said he posted his story as a cautionary tale for anyone who might be tempted to test the weather in that part of the world. “All I can hope for is that other pilots reading this learn from my mistakes and give clouds/storms the proper respect they deserve. Safe flying everyone.”

Hello, other than Canadian Tire, Sports Experts and ChangingGear, is there anywhere else in Whitehorse to get a decent hockey stick?

Hi friends! Looking for advice on how to break up a drive from Whitehorse to Edmonton mid December. We are for sure staying at Liard river on the first day of driving, but wondering what I should expect for realistic driving time/places to stop along the way. How many days should I expect it to take me etc.? TIA

Pc power is out and we only have electrical heat 😯

This Friday October 25, 2024 around 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, from my drive from Faro to Whitehorse, an occupant of an old pick up truck was tailgating me when the road was very slippery and he could have overtaken me if he wanted to but didn’t. When I looked at my rear view mirror he was steering the vehicle side to side and this was clear act of aggressive driving.

At one point there was another pick up truck in between his vehicle and mine but he overtook that vehicle and cut in front of me only to pull his handbrake for the vehicle to spin. He then pulled over to the shoulder and when I passed him by you can see he is filled with anger. The other vehicle behind me slow down and not sure what he told him but he quickly sped and moved far away from the reckless driver of the vehicle and mine.

This is his description as I didn’t have a dash camera. White male wearing Men's Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt, Traditional Fit. He had beard and had dark shades on. He was driving an old grey truck with a white dog at the front. This kind of behaviour is very dangerous and unpredictable. I ended up seeing him driving on 4th Avenue in downtown around 4:40 pm.

Whoever you are remember every action has consequences. Your reckless behaviour will eventually catch up with you. Someone will record you and send it to the RCMP oneday. Next time if I see this behaviour again I will definitely report it to the RCMP. I didn’t have cell service at that point and sometimes you can drive longer distances before you meet another vehicle coming.

Once I got to Whitehorse the first thing I did was inform my supervisor about this incident.

Continue doing this and am sure Yukon is small and next time with your picture and vehicle people will identify you.
