The world's heaviest snow occurs where a steady supply of cold air and moisture are joined by a steep mountain range to force impinging winds upward. Such areas include the west-facing slopes of Japan's Hokkaido Island, southeast Alaska/BC, and North America's westernmost ranges such as the Cascades and the Sierra. High-latitude countries can be snow-covered for long stretches, but amounts are typically lighter. Although very cold, Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth.
One of the snowiest places on Earth is Mount Baker in Washington State, USA. The Mount Baker Ski Area reported a record 1,140 inches (95 feet) / 2,896 cm (almost 29 m) of snowfall for the 1998-99 season.
