The closest areas to me (Snoqualmie and Stevens) get about 400-450 inches. Mount Baker gets about 600-650 inches on average, but I think a couple years ago it got above 1,000 inches.

hmm in a good year we'll get 60 inches here in minnesota, but it's cold enough that it stays all winter, so it's enough to build backyard kickers, the bases at the local areas are all man made so theres plenty of snow, but it's all ice.

we get a fair amount of snow, not sure of the exact numbers though...

the bad part is that here in northern ontario, it has this nasty habit of turning into SOLID FUCKING ICE!

My local areas-
Loveland- 400 in.
A-Basin- 340 in.
Berthoud (now closed, dammit)- 550 in. according to them, but I don't really think its that much most years.
Winter Park- 380 in.

Those are the resorts I ski at and they have the most snow in CO usually (which is probably why I ski at them).

smugglers notch - 450- 500 last season (+average)

i think the record at mt. baker is something over 100 feet...insane. i went out that summer in august and there were 20 foot high piles of snow at 5,000 feet.
