The Himalayan Mountains are the highest mountains in the world. They are covered in snow all year from the altitude. The higher the point, the colder it gets. So, the Himalayan Mountains are so tall that the caps are snow capped all year.
Only high in the mountains and on glaciers does it remain snow covered.
Some examples of European mountains that are covered in snow year-round are the Alps in Switzerland and the Pyrenees in Andorra. These mountains have high elevations and cold temperatures, which contribute to their perpetual snow cover.
Glaciers are formed in areas where more snow accumulates than can melt over time. This excess snow compacts and transforms into ice, creating a massive body of ice that flows under its own weight. Glaciers typically develop in polar regions or high mountains where temperatures remain low enough for snow to persist year-round.
The amount of snow in the Andes Mountains varies depending on the location and altitude. On average, the Andes can receive between 2 to 6 meters (6.5 to 20 feet) of snow per year in some higher elevation areas. However, this can vary significantly depending on the specific region and year.
Alot of the Himilayas and the Andies I think. Sorry for the spelling ers.

No, not all mountains have snow caps. The presence of snow caps depends on factors such as elevation, latitude, and climate. Mountains in higher latitudes or with higher elevations are more likely to have snow caps year-round.
Yes it snow every winter in the mountains of Hawaii.

15 ft of snow a year
The higher you go in elevation, such as the mountains, the colder it is. This is due to the inverse relationship between temperature and pressure. Pressure decreases as you go up in the atmosphere, therefore the temperature decreases as well. This means that not only can it be below freezing in the mountains when it is quite warm below, allowing that snow to remain, but the length of the snow season is considerably longer in the mountains. It is cold enough to snow for a much larger part of the year, allowing snow to fall and accumulate for a long time. In many mountainous regions, by the time the snow begins to melt, there are many feet of it.
Ben Nevis
At the moment, yes. Part of the Rockies can have snow year-round, but that is more likely further North, in Canada.
Different from place to place. In north its a lot of snow every winter. In west there are fairly snow. However in the mountains in west there is snow from october-may
