Lots of touchy slabs on anything steep, especially unsupported slopes and convexities. Remote triggered 2 separate size 0.5-1.0 storm slabs down 20-30cm from approx 20m away from the crown line. Snow very heavy but quite deep above about 1600m. Significant rain crust down around 20cm below 1600m. Skied elevations from 2000-1500m, east aspect. Heard but could not see what sounded like a sizeable (sz 2-3 based on approx 8-10 seconds rumbling) slide in what we have to assume was the next valley over.
