Which mountain has snow year round?

Lots of mountains have snow all the year round. The mountain just has to be high enough that the average temperature is below 0°C most of the year, and the few days in summer which are above 0°C are not enough to melt all the snow which fell during the long winter. Examples are the Himalayes, the Andes, the Alps etc.

Is there snow on Mt Rainier year 'round?

Yes, there are many glaciers on the mountain above about 8,000 feet where snow and ice don't melt. Hundreds of inches fall every year on Paradise Ranger station which is around 5500 feet, and it often doesn't completely melt until late June or July at that elevation. But it does all melt. You have to get above 7-8 thousand feet, depending on the year, to find snow that does not melt.

Do all mountains have snow on top?

No, to have snow on top (permanently) the height of the mountain must exceed that of the snow line for the particular latitude at which the mountain is located (the snow line is higher at the equator than it is at the poles). Mountains that do not reach this height are not permanently snow capped (they may have snow on in winter months).


Is there snow on Mt Rainier in July?

Is there snow all year round on mount Everest?

Yes. And the permanent snow fields are sometimes called glaciers. The altitude is high enough -- making the temperature permanently below freezing -- so that whatever moisture is in the air falls or collects as snow or ice crystals.
