Avalanches often happen when loose packed snow becomes too heavy for snow lower down a slope to support it. When the snow becomes too heavy, it creates an avalanche.

How do you predict avalanches?
Avalanche prediction involves analyzing weather conditions, snowpack stability, and terrain factors to assess the likelihood of an avalanche occurring. Techniques include snowpack tests, observing weather patterns, and considering the slope angle and aspect. Advanced tools such as avalanche forecasts and advisory services can also aid in predicting avalanches.
When do avalanches mostly happen?
Most AVALANCHES happen during late winter or early spring but, There are AVALANCHES in the winter especially right after a storm like for example, if there is a storm and it climbs over a cliff and someone walks on it an AVALANCHE will occurYour welcome for the anwser :)

Can loud noises start a avalanches?
Yes, loud noises such as explosives, thunder, or even the vibrations caused by heavy machinery, can trigger avalanches by disrupting the snowpack's stability. These disturbances can cause weak layers within the snow to collapse and start a chain reaction leading to an avalanche.
