Soil and climate around Whitehorse

Yukon winters bring frost to roughly 96" of depth around Whitehorse, so cold-weather digs here often favor air excavation or heated-water hydrovac to work frozen ground. Whitehorse sits in a cold subarctic climate, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here. Crews that work Whitehorse County know how this ground behaves, which is why a local quote beats a generic rate for any Whitehorse dig.
