Overcast conditions are unlikely to lead to any overnight refreeze of the snow pack at lower elevations. As such, solar aspects BTL could be prone to loose snow slides whenever the sun makes an appearance.

Natural and human triggering is unlikely but it is still a good practice to avoid steep, open, rocky slopes with a shallow snowpack.
Weather Forecast
Continuing mild with moderate to strong south westerly winds at upper elevations. Isolated flurries are forecast for the Icefields area.
Snowpack Summary
A supportive mid pack consisting of rounded and facetted layers is bridging the weak depth hoar/facet layers that make up the lower snowpack. Wind slabs are developing in sheltered alpine locations from moderate to strong SW winds.
