Teams must make their way to Whitehorse, Yukon. Upon arrival, they had to choose a marked Chevrolet Silverado and drive to Sky High Wilderness Ranch and spend the night. Teams then got their breakfast and their next clue at the ranch kitchen in the morning.

Choice A: Make Your Bed

Teams must have to carry two heavy backpacks to a campsite, which had a locked chest and a key inside a block of ice in a cooler. They then had to empty their backpacks, build a tent, and start a campfire so as to melt the block the ice and retrieve the key. Once a wilderness expert was satisfied with their setup, teams could receive their next clue.

Cormac & Nicole, Mickey & Pete, Pierre & Michel, and Rex & Bob chose this task.

Choice B: Ride A Sled

Teams must have to select a tag with the names of three dogs from a board at the ranch and then run 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) on a trail to Fish Lake. There, they had to search through a number of dog harnesses for the ones that matched the three dogs they had selected. Once they found the harnesses, teams had to correctly put them on the dogs and attach the dogs to the sled. Each team member then had to complete three laps around the frozen lake in order to receive their next clue.

Alain & Audrey, Natalie & Meaghan, Ryan & Rob, and Sukhi & Jinder chose this task.

After completing the Detour, Sukhi & Jinder would receive their clue from their Speed Bump. Sukhi & Jinder must have to hook a 20-foot (6.1 m) trailer to their Chevrolet Silverado and drive 12.5 kilometres (7.8 mi) to a marked parking spot, where they had to back their trailer into the spot without hitting any of the cones before they could continue racing.

Teams must drive themselves to Grey Mountain for their next clue.

"Who's got a steady hand?"

The assigned team member must have to ride a snow bike along a one-kilometre (0.62 mi) course in the woods before heading to the shooting range, where they had to successfully shoot all five targets without being missed, the rangemaster would have to receive their next clue. If they missed any of the targets, they had to start over by running the course again before shooting the remaining targets.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must drive themselves to to the Red Trail and follow a marked path to a portage and grab a canoe from the woods for their next clue.

Teams must have to paddle down the Yukon River 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) to the Miles Canyon to check in.
For coming in first place, Alain & Audrey won two round-trip tickets to any "sun destination" served by Air Canada Rouge and CA$3,000 from Scotiabank.
