Approximately 52 people die from avalanches worldwide every year.
The number of avalanches in a year can vary widely depending on the location and specific conditions. Some regions experience dozens to hundreds of avalanches in a single season, while others may have only a few. Factors such as snowfall, terrain, weather, and human activity all contribute to the frequency of avalanches.

Avalanches in the Himalayas can occur frequently, with estimates suggesting they happen hundreds of times annually, particularly during the winter and spring months when snowfall is heaviest. The exact number can vary significantly depending on weather conditions, snowfall, and the specific region within the Himalayas. Areas popular for trekking, such as the Annapurna and Everest regions, are particularly prone to avalanches. Proper monitoring and safety measures are essential for those traveling in these areas.
On average, avalanches kill around 11 people per year in Canada. These fatalities often occur in backcountry areas where snow and weather conditions can make avalanches more likely.
