Information coming from this region has been extremely limited; however, reports suggest there is about 70cm of snow at 1600m in the Duffey Lake area and about 120cm at the same elevation on the Coquihalla. Terrain below treeline is reported to be mostly below threshold for avalanche activity.Steep solar aspects have seen a daily melt-freeze cycle with recent warming.The upper snowpack is settling with the recent warm temps and will have likely gained considerable strength.  A few crusts can be found deeper in the snowpack.  Some facets may be found lingering around these crusts at higher elevations. Observers are not identifying any of these as cause for concern at this time although they might be worth exploring.
