I was in the Lizard range last weekend, riding the bowls directly behind Fernie. There is about 30 cms on top of the rain crust right now, which is sufficient coverage that you won't hit it. It rained pretty much to the top of White Pass 2 weeks ago, so at lower elevations it got pretty wet.
Keep an eye on this website, it's usually pretty accurate for snowfall and temps.

No idea what Pano is like right now, although it's been my general experience that it sucks. If I had to choose I would never pick it over Fernie.
