Of course they are! the most dangerous TYPE of avalanche is the slab avalanche and happens most of the time. And only if you in one. ;)
But its probably not as dangerous as an earthquake.

∙ 12y agohi,this is a very good question.....in general it is around spring. when the snow has fallen down a long time ago but that there is a fine layer of fresh snow.
most of the people say that is is in the Colorado (witch is the place that killed once more than 150 people...)
but avalanches are every were.... small and big...
it depends on the start of it...
just look up on YouTube: biggest avalanche.
you will find there very amazing films !
I hope it claers you a bit....

∙ 12y agoBackcountry is often extremely dangerous, considering that the snow is large untouched, and that the area is not properly mapped for potential high risk zones. Also getting trapped in an avalanche, while in the backcountry can be deadly, even if you aren't killed in the actual avalanche, as you may die waiting for rescue.

Can avalanches be stopped?
Kinda-sorta, but not really. It's possible to disrupt the snow cover to set off smaller, less dangerous avalanches to prevent the build up to the big, really dangerous ones. It's also possible to build fences to change the build up of snow drifts. Or to build really chunky fences to dissipate the power and speed of an avalanche.
