Avalanches are most likely to occur in the alpine regions of France, Switzerland and Austria. However avalanches can occur on any steep slope, considering the factors. Within the U.S, Alaska, Colorado and Utah are the states that avalanches occur most often.
The avalanche danger increases with major snowstorms and periods of thaw. More than 80 percent of these occur during or just after large snowstorms. The most avalanche-prone months are, in order, February, March, and January. Avalanches caused by thaw occur most often in April.
Avalanches occur in the back country where we like to play. Most avalanches occur on slopes between 35 & 45 degrees. Slopes less than 30 degrees rarely produce avalanches, and slopes greater than about 50 degrees tend to sluff off the snow often, and not build up slabs, not to say they will never avalanche down. Stay alert, always pay attention to your surroundings

The Rocky Mountains are very steep, and avalanches are common as a result.
Alaska is the most prone to earthquakes in the US.

Tornadoes most often occur in the late afternoon and early evening.
Most often, people trapped in avalanches are killed by suffocation. If not, it is by either blunt force or hypothermia.
Most often by flying.
You can find them most often in the Sahel Desert in Africa.
