The Yukon theme/ deep alpine theme (yes, i just made that up) is pretty underused. I'm glad to see it crop up again.

Okay, so I ran around the map a bit and had some observations.

This respawn visualizer is broken for blue.

Pushing forward as blue only yields two path choices. Both narrow, long corridors. I'd recommend adding a doorway, roughly behind the tree in the corner, that leads though the building and out the double doorway here.

This would give blue a wider, more indirect route to the point, a fallback position, plus some height.

After capping A, it's not entirely clear were to go. The only sign is on that small door that leads to the flank.

This is an out of the way flank, mainly for high ground classes like snipers. it's not the automatic fallback position for Blue. So why so much health and ammo?

This is a nice flank, but it's a long, cramped tunnel for spies and adventurous pyros. So why do they need so much health and ammo? they don't have to push though the tunnel because, besides jumping classes, Red can't easily get here. I'd remove the visible pick ups and change the health pack farther down with a small or medium one.

These were just my thoughts / observations. Don't feel compelled to acknowledge them, and definitely get playtesting before changing anything. Besides the spawn door of course.

Edit: Also, there are a disappointing lack of bears on the map.

Edit: ^ My mistake. ;)

It's nice to see a map use the Yukon theme. it's not very popular, but it looks really good. The A point (I think?) looks rather flat, judging from the pictures.

Also, there are a disappointing lack of bears on the map.
There better be a real bear in here that mauls players who get too close.

Well, it's clear what the most popular feedback is. You should really add a wooden bear cutout, even if it's that polar bear one (by @norfolk terrier, I think.)
