Yes it would be. The last time I was in BC was driving to Alaska in February but you are much farther south. Beautiful there.
Always got me how much better the roads are in Canada.

On that trip, we left Disney World in Florida and drove to Anchorage, Alaska in February. The worst weather we had was in North Dakota when we tried to outrun a blizzard and almost got stuck in a snow bank on an interstate highway. The rest of the trip was beautiful and we used the Alaska Mile Post book to plan the trip and where to spend the nights.

Having a book to give you a heads up on trip planing is very convenient we found. Looking for a place to stay in the middle of the night is no fun. 20 yrs. ago we were lucky enough to outrun a hail storm in N Dakota the size of base balls.

Not knowing how long it would take to get from one stop to the next and hearing all the horror stories of travel in Canada on the Alaskan Highway, I planed not to drive more than 4 hours a day. Also not knowing how much daylight there would be at that time of year, the 4 hours seemed about right. One stop I got to in 2 hours and decided to go on too the following stop. Needless to say, that is when we ran into a snowstorm and almost didn't make it to that next stop and I was kicking myself all the way for about the last few hours. We didn't get to that next stop until after midnight. The other thing I found out is that at that time of year, there is little traffic on the highway between those out of the way towns.

The Alaskan Highway Mile Post book was the best thing I ever did. It told what to expect at each mile post and what to see in between.
