That depends on the type of avavlanche, if it's a controlled avalanche i.e. deliberately created - this will most likely happen in areas where there is a high population e.g. ski resorts. If it's a natural avalanche, you will most likely find these is glaciers, and backcountry mountain areas.
Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers:
Avalanches happen wherever there is snow laying on a sufficient enough angle.
It doesn't matter just don't cause one otherwise you could die, so if you here or see one run for your life
Avalanches usually occur in areas where the degree of the slope is more than 30 degrees. There are also other factors. One key factor is warm days paired with cool nights. This causes snow to melt and then refreeze, creating many different layers. This creates a zone in which avalanches are highly likely, and only need something to set them off, or a "trigger". This will cause the top layer or so to shear off, and bam! avalanche. It is highly unlikely that an avalanche will occur within a ski area, as the slopes are usually way less than 30 degrees, as well as bombing performed on areas where avalanche danger is high. Bombing is exactly what it sounds like: a cannon shoots small bombs towards a slope in order to act as a trigger. But avalanches most likely happen in moutaineous areas
There are none more common than others. IT all depends on the factors at the resorts. They most commonly happen when fresh snow has settled on older less dense snow. When the top (heavier layer) is aggravated (most commonly your holiday maker) the bottom (lighter and less compact layer) gives way causing an avalanche.
Resorts do not let holiday makers and adrenaline junkies out on a mountain if they are aware that conditions are right for an avalanche to happen.
Avalanches Take Place Durinq Mid Winter & Sprinq. Mostly Common on Gentle Slopes.
avalanches mostly come from areas with cold whether when there is a force of it is all motion but that's a different question
avalanches occur in the mountains
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.
There are four avalanches occur every winter in the American Rockies.
so you can die
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.

Kashmir has a cold-mild climate and situates many mountainous areas. Snow accumulates and either naturally, or human triggered avalanches occur.
They are in Denver, Colorado which has a ton of snowy mountains and as a result, avalanches occur
Yes, Avalanches do occur on Mount Everest.
