->''"One yodel out of place would attract, not the jolly echo of a lonely goatherd, but fifty tons of express-delivery snow."''
-->-- ''Literature/ReaperMan''

Someone in the mountains triggers an avalanche by shouting or making another loud noise (shooting a gun, detonating an explosion, [[SneezeOfDoom sneezing]]), especially if other characters have warned him about this before.

Note that, contrary to popular myth, this does not happen in RealLife -- the pressure caused by even very loud sounds is far too small to cause an avalanche.[[note]]Explosions will actually trigger avalanches, and howitzers are used in avalanche-prone areas for this very purpose, to deliberately trigger small, relatively safe avalanches before the snow can build up enough to cause a large avalanche.[[/note]]
