This is an educated guess only: The most likely time of day for an avalanche would be in the afternoon and the most likely time of year would be in the spring. The logic behind this "guess" is that as the temperature begins to rise (i.e., in the afternoons and in the spring), the snow begins to melt resulting in the weight of the snowpack becoming heavier until reaching the point where the underlying snow is no longer able to support it and lets loose. This is assuming there is no external triggering event such as an earthquake.

While it is true that temperature and weather conditions may have an effect on the cause of an incident: Records indicate that investigations into Avalanches have been caused by sound, wildlife, seismic and human activity.

Avalanches occur at any given moment : the observation of an avalance or its impact are the only reason some are noticed, but most go largely un-noticed around the world.

The best defense against an avalanche :

Always consult you local Public Safety officials and follow safety guidelines before entering ares where Avalanches are known to occur .
