The name of this peak as "Avalanche Mountain" isn't based in any historic resources that I can find including historic USGS topo maps. Thunder mountain is the name that I know of most commonly. Relative to other peaks in the area, this one isn't avalanche

Comment from puzzlr
I reverted the name to Avalanche Mountain citing the historic reference below and wide usage on hiking sites such as WTA, SummitPost, Peakbagger, nwhikers.net etc.
Avalanche Mountain was named by John Roper in a trip report published in the March 1995 issue of Pack & Paddle magazine. John wrote "Avalanche Mountain seemed a good name since (1) avalanches make 'snow thunder' or 'rock thunder' and (2) the Source Lake basin, just south, is famous for this treacherous phenomenon -- of both the snow and rock varieties"
