Avalanches are most likely to occur in steep, mountainous terrain, particularly in areas with slopes between 30 and 45 degrees. They often happen after heavy snowfall, warming temperatures, or rain, which can destabilize the snowpack. Regions with a history of avalanches, such as the Rocky Mountains and the Alps, are particularly at risk, especially in backcountry areas where terrain conditions are less controlled. Additionally, locations with weak layers in the snowpack or where wind has deposited snow can also trigger avalanches.
