In winter, when is the most dangerous time to cross a mountain pass?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is at night. During winter nights, temperatures drop drastically, significantly increasing the likelihood of ice patches forming on the road, especially in damp and shadowed areas of mountain passes. Furthermore, the lack of visibility inherent to the night, combined with potential adverse weather conditions (fog or snow), makes it extremely difficult to anticipate hazards. While early morning hours also carry a risk of residual ice, the night is the most critical time due to the combination of darkness and continuous temperature drop.
