Mt. Baker, Washington 2896cm 1998-1999 is the highest official record. There is a ski area there where they measure snowfall.

However, it is likely that higher totals occur in areas where there are no official measurements.

For example, there may have been higher snowfall higher on Mt. Baker (or neighboring Cascade peaks). There is also likely higher snowfall in the Coastal Range of Alaska.

Think of it this way. If an area receives the equivalent of 300 inches (about 762 cm) of rain, it would be about 7620 cm of snow if all fell as snow at a 10:1 ratio. This is probably the upper limit anywhere on earth in a maximum year.
