"The world record for the most snow in one year is now held by Mount Baker (elevation: 10,775 feet / 3,285 meters) in Washington State, USA. The Mount Baker Ski Area reported 1,140 inches (95 feet) / 2,896 cm (29 meters) of snowfall for the 1998-99 season," the Athropolis says.

"The heavy snowfalls in Washington's Cascade Mountains are the result of several factors:

• Winter is the wettest season on the mild Pacific Coast, and with the west-to-east weather patterns, storms strike the Pacific Northwest frequently.
• 
  
• Freezing levels average about 4,000 feet / 1,220 meters over the winter months. Near that altitude snowfall amounts increases very rapidly with just small increases in elevation.
• 
  
• Air full of moisture after its journey across the Pacific is forced up over the Cascade Range. It cools down quickly and drops it's load.

"Greatest Seasonal Snowfall Total

"An amazing 1,140 inches (95 feet) was recorded at Mount Baker Ski Area (4,200 feet elevation) in Washington during the July 1, 1998, to June 30, 1999, snow season. That's the most snowfall recorded in a season for any location in the U.S., according to NOAA," the Weather Underground says.

"That snow total is equal to the height of nine to 10 basketball goals stacked on top of each other, or running the distance on a football field from the goal line to just past the 30-yard line."

"The western United States is king when it comes to the most amazing snow totals ever recorded over the course of a season, month and a day. A plethora of mountainous terrain in this part of the country interacting with moist Pacific storm systems can lead to some enormous amounts of snow," The Weather Channel says.

"An amazing 1,140 inches (95 feet) was recorded at Mount Baker Ski Area (4,200 feet elevation) during the July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 snow season.

"For perspective, that snow total is equal to the height of nine to ten basketball goals stacked on top of each other or running the distance on a football field from the goal line to just past the 30-yard line."

"The following are world records regarding snowfall and snowflakes:

• Highest seasonal total snowfall – The world record for the highest seasonal total snowfall was measured in the United States at Mt. Baker Ski Area, outside of the city of Bellingham, Washington during the 1998–1999 season. Mount Baker received 2,896 cm (95.01 ft) of snow, thus surpassing the previous record holder, Mount Rainier, Washington, which during the 1971–1972 season received 2,850 cm (93.5 ft) of snow.
• Highest seasonal average annual snowfall – The world record for the highest average annual snowfall is 1,764 cm (57.87 ft),^[51] measured in Sukayu Onsen, Japan for the period of 1981–2010.
• Largest snowflake – According to Guinness World Records, the world's largest snowflake fell in January 1887 outside present-day Miles City, Montana. It measured 38 cm (15 in) in diameter. (Wikipedia)

"Mt. Baker Ski Area is a ski resort in the northwest United States, located in Whatcom County, Washington, at the end of State Route 542. The base elevation is at 3,500 feet (1,067 m), while the peak of the resort is at 5,089 feet (1,551 m). It is about ten miles (16 km) south of the 49th parallel, the international border with Canada. Despite its name, the Mt. Baker Ski Area is actually closer to Mount Shuksan than Mount Baker.

"The ski area is home to the world's greatest recorded snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), during the 1998–99 season. Mt. Baker also enjoys one of the highest average annual snowfall of any resort in the world, with 641 inches (53.4 ft; 16.3 m).

"The ski area is known for numerous challenging in-bounds routes and for the many backcountry opportunities that surround it. The backcountry is accessible from several chairlifts, and access is permitted from the resort following the Mt. Baker Ski Area backcountry policy."  (Wikipedia)

"During the winter of 1998-99 Mt. Baker received 1,140 inches of snowfall – verified by NOAA as the World Record of snowfall during a single winter season," the Mt. Baker Sky Area says.

"The images below show the snowfall stake in summer, then in spring of 1998-99 with NOAA officials verifying the record.

"The other images show Chair #1 midstation loading ramp during summer and then March of 1999. (Yes, that’s our old ramp, prior to the rebuild. We had a few black diamond ramps back in the old days)."

"Americans sweltering in the summer heat may want to take a moment to imagine 95 feet of snow in the driveway. That’s how much accumulated last winter at Mt. Baker, Wash., setting a seasonal snowfall record for the United States and the world, the National Climatic Data Center announced Monday," the Ski Magazine says.

"The National Climate Extremes Committee said the 1998-99 snowfall at Mt. Baker totaled 1,140 inches. That topped the previous record of 1,122 inches set at Mount Rainier, Wash., in the winter of 1971-1972, the data center reported.

"The record snowfall was measured at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, which made an unofficial claim on the record in May, announcing a total of 1,124 inches even though the snow season wasn’t over. Now the extremes committee has made the record official, at a higher total than the ski area originally announced.

"The figure of 1,140 inches was accepted after study by the extremes committee, which included representatives of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the American Association of State Climatologists and a regional expert from the Western Regional Climate Center."

"It's official—Mt. Baker, Washington, has set a new record for the most snowfall ever measured in the United States in a single season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) reported today," the Mountain Zone says.

"The Mt. Baker Ski Area in northwestern Washington reported 1,140 inches of snowfall for the 1998-99 snowfall season. The figure was scrutinized by the National Climate Extremes Committee, which is responsible for evaluating potential national record-setting extreme events.

"The committee, composed of experts from NOAA, the American Association of State Climatologists, and a regional expert from the Western Regional Climate Center, made a unanimous recommendation to the director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center to accept the figure."
