If they get on it fairly soon. My understanding of Salmon Arm is far enough inland that even down in the valley they can get a couple feet of frost in the ground by the end of the year. Although highly dependent on the weather in a given year, of course.
Well yeah, you just have to really want it.
Usually the rush is to get foundations in and a shell up so people can work inside before the ground freezes. For outdoor stuff like this once winter in on if you haven't dug yet you have to bring ground heaters to thaw out the frost, you have to set up some sort of cover/enclosure for the concrete to get started curing and dry out enough that the frost won't damage it (it creates it's own heat, so for small stuff that isn't really load bearing you can probably get by with just insulation to keep that heat in), and everyone just moves slower.
No, Aulac was done Aug 9. Supercharge.info however says that Waasis NB (near Fredericton) started construction Wed Nov 7 2018.
My original comment (ie. the one here) is the one that you were responding to, and I cited the Maritimes and called out NB and NS (sorry, PEI). In the context of my message, yes, Aulac is in NS or NB. As is Waasis.
What was your route from Vancouver to Inuvik? I guess you took the Cassiar. Is that highway paved yet? Traversable in all season tires in summer? Would you be willing to drive a new ish Tesla on it? I've driven the Alaska Highway (in an ICE) but never been on the Cassiar or the Dempster for that matter. I did stop at the turn off to the Dempster on that trip. Also curious how that highway was. I'm sure it isn't paved but is it still so bad that you have to carry multiple spare tires?
I always took Cassair as I like the roads least traveled. Alaskan Hwy is too developed for my taste. I started doing this trip about 26 years ago. At that time many hundreds of miles were gravel. Now it is paved. The Dempster Highway is a gravel road for about 500 miles to Inuvik. Inuvik is Inuit and Athapaskan village. I have always had good tires and just one spare. Only once have I had a flat tire on the Dempster. I have lots and lots of experience on gravel roads and even did 6,000 miles on a loop around the Sahara. While I always had a truck on the Dempster, there were also locals with sedans. Carefully driven, a Tesla, even a RWD would be absolutely fine with one or two spares. Along the 500 miles road, at about 250 miles, is one gas station/restaurant/RV camp with Nema 14-50. You'd get really good range because you'll never drive faster than 40 mph. The road is open all year except the river crossings of the Mackenzie and Arctic Red River are impassable at freeze-up and at break-up.
It’s ok, soon you’ll be able to use the AlCan Highway Superchargers. You said it yourself didn’t you
?
