The Pacific Northwest of the United States of America is the snowiest place in North America. It may be the snowiest place in the world. The two states making up the bulk of the Pacific Northwest, Oregon & Washington, have very few ski resorts that receive under 400 inches of snow annually & Mt. Baker had the world record for annual snowfall at 1,140 inches of snow in a single year.

squaw?
Dumb ass !!!!
You completely missed Alyeska in Girdwood, AK – tops the “1 by 100” or so. And yes, Alaska is a state, & part of the PNW region!
Don’t know how you came up with 486″ for Crystal. They only average 350″/yr being in the shadow of Ranier.
Hurricane Ridge 400+ inch claimed annual average
I’m pretty sure if Alpy posted their totals from the top like all the others it would be #2 or 3
The 436″ is at the base
Hooray for Mt Ashland! My ski mountain!
Mt Spokane is actually closer to 200 inches.. but nearby Lookout Pass is well over 400″ (ID/MT border, so not exactly PNW by your definition)
