About the weather
Yellowknife experiences long winters with temperatures typically ranging from -15°C to -40°C, and occasionally lower during cold spells. Snowfall is common, and outdoor activities take place in Arctic winter conditions. Despite the cold, the dry climate often makes temperatures feel more manageable than in humid environments. Proper winter clothing is essential to stay comfortable throughout the trip.
