Use normal caution, and remember that even small sluffs can push you into more hazardous terrain. Buried rocks, stumps, and crusts may be the biggest hazard out there right now!
No recent avalanches have been reported, but observations have been limited. The snowpack structure suggests that avalanches will be unlikely.
If you are getting out in the backcountry, consider making a post on the MIN (Mountain Information Network). You can share riding conditions, avalanche or snowpack observations, or even just a photo or two.
Snowpack observations have been limited, but our snowpack models suggest that there is an average of 65 cm of snow at treeline, tapering rapidly below. Observations south of Fernie and Nelson showed deeper treeline snowpacks, 100-150 cm.
The upper half of that snowpack is expected to be soft, recent snowfall, which is bonded well to the crusts below that make up most of the lower snowpack.
The snowpack generally seems to be right side up and strong. In many places, especially at treeline and below, there is not enough snow to overcome surface roughness and be above the threshold for avalanches.
