You can measure how unstable they are with reasonable accuracy by digging snow pits and evaluating the different layers of the snow, seeing whether there are any particular weaknesses. Therefore this enables some sort of prediction as to when an avalanche may occur (in a space of a month or so), but they can not be completely accurately predicted. Also not everyone wants to dig snow pits in the steepest parts of the snow slopes and whats true for one location may not be true for another.
Therefore it is difficult to measure avalanches.
