List of snowiest places in the United States by state

Some ski resorts and unofficial weather stations report higher amounts of snowfall than places on this list.

Official weather stations are usually located in populated places and snowfall statistics for isolated and unpopulated areas are often not recorded.

Mount Rainier and Mount Baker in Washington are the snowiest places in the United States which have weather stations, receiving 645 inches (1,640 cm) annually on average.

By comparison, the populated place with the highest snowfall in the world is believed to be Sukayu Onsen in the Siberian-facing Japanese Alps.
