It would be nice, but from the way the snow is implemented right now, I don't know if it'd be possible. I'm not allowed to link it, I don't think, but snow mechanics have been described in depth. The engine detects objects like trees and buildings, and allows so much snow to build up on it depending on what it is. That isn't conducive to avalanches, and at least regarding Oblivion's CS, I can't think of how an avalanche would be implemented. . .
Edit: I read that one of the dungeons had a very "Tomb of the Lost Ark" feel to it. If there's an Indiana Jones-esque giant rolling boulder mechanic already in place, than that could ostensibly be re-meshed and textured and made into an avalanche. It seems a bit of a long shot, though.
