We crossed the border May 1st in '15' first night in Ft Macleod winds were terible. Second day went to Banff spent three nights there and great weather. Then headed north to Jasper, once we passed Lake Louise it was rain, fog, sleet, snow furries all the way to Jasper temp varied in low 30's. Not much of a drive other than miles put behind us. Stopped in Hinton and had 3 inches of wet snow. Was told better to spend another night as warm weather was to move in and the roads north would be clear by then. Cruised up to Grand Praire the next day where the truck and trailer got a mud coating from the oil field rigs dripping from their off pavement runs. Everything west and north to Tok were smooth sailing with sunny skies and clear roads but watch for the flagged spots.
We're planning on '18' but will cross the border about 2 weeks later.

Hi all,
Springtime 2019 we will hit the road for an extended trip to the far northwest, with no scheduled return date.
My goal is to be well settled in AK by the start of the red salmon season in early July, so we will have plenty of time to poke along on the way.
TIA for any insight and info.

Don't know why your trip planner is blocking you from going through Calgary to Banff and then Jasper National Parks.
Would you believe operator error? I know, it's hard for me to believe also.:o
Last nite I changed settings and after I unchecked "avoid highways" and "avoid tolls" it works fine.

We want to travel northbound on the Icefields Parkway. My question to anyone in the know is, at what date could we expect to traverse this road in relative safety from heavy weather, and ice on the roadway.
I'd like to leave SC on or about April 15th, which should put us in Calgary about the end of the month. Barring spring storms, will that be too early for good road conditions?
