From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_the_United_States):

"On average, the mountains of the western states receive the highest levels of snowfall on Earth. The greatest annual snowfall level is at Mount Rainier in Washington, at 692 inches (1,760 cm); the record there was 1,122 inches (2,850 cm) in the winter of 1971-72. This record was broken by the Mt. Baker Ski Area in northwestern Washington which reported 1,140 inches (2,900 cm) of snowfall for the 1998-99 snowfall season."

Otherwise, as for actual cities, the top five for average annual snowfall, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are:

Marquette, Michigan

Sault Saint Marie, Michigan

Syracuse, New York

Caribou, Maine

Lander, Wyoming

Interestingly, Flagstaff, Arizona is #6.
