Snowiest place in the world. (climate, snowfall, recorded, temperatures)

[grega94]

"The National Park Service says that "Paradise is the snowiest place on Earth where snowfall is measured regularly." 1,122 inches (93.5 ft, 28.5 m) of snow fell during the winter of 1971-1972, setting a world record at the time. The minimum annual snowfall at Paradise was 313 inches (26 ft, 8.0 m) in the winter of 1939-1940, and the maximum snowpack was 357 inches (30 ft, 9.1 m) in March."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradi...ington#Climate
Paradise Mt. Rainier averages 1,704 cm of snow per year

If I'm not mistaken nearby Mt. Baker holds the world record for snowfall in one season
"The ski area is home to the world's greatest recorded snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), recorded during the 1998–99 season. Mt. Baker also enjoys the unofficially highest average annual snowfall of any resort in the world, with 641 inches (53.4 ft; 16.3 m)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Baker_Ski_Area

However the snowiest city in the world is claimed to be Aomori, Japan averages 669 cm of snow per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aomori,_Aomori#Climate

However it seems Valdez, AK is a bit snowier 756.2 cm of snow per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdez...hy_and_climate

Also Kamchatka recievs heavy snowfall as well, I don't know the snowiest local, But even the most populace city recieves 558 cm of snow per year, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrop...hatsky#Climate

However, these are just total snowfall, which doesn't capture the entire picture since snow melts and compacts, so are there any records on snowpack depths?

Furthermore what is the snowiest place in your respective country/state/province, and are there any other places that come close to these figures, or theoretically should, but no weather stations are there to record the data? For instance I would assume that the mountains in SE Alaska receive more snow than Mt. Rainier or Mt. Baker.

I was scouring about old threads and I stumbled upon these places in Japan.

Sukayu, Japan 1,764 cm of snowfall per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukayu_Onsen
Nozawa Onsen, Japan 1,203 cm of snowfall per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozawa...Nagano#Climate

Hmm...

Country? That would be Kittilä in Lapland most likely.
State? Sorry, centralised republic.
Province? In Finland Proper that is most likely Loimaa, as it's furthest inland.

Country: Churchill(1800m),Santa Catarina, average 3 snowy days per year.

The snowiest place in the UK is the Cairngorms, with 76 days of snow per year. 10 of the snowiest places in the UK - Met Office

I think the snowiest place in Southern Hemisphere is Mount San Valentin(4000m),Southern Chile,its close to Pacific Ocean and form an Giant glacier to east.

I think NZ would more likely have the snowiest place in the Southern Hemisphere and the world.

NZ and probably Chile as well, don't really keep records for snowfall.

Why NZ?

High rainfall, suitable altitude and sufficient temperatures for year round snowfall -same as Chile.

Aren't there ski resorts, shouldn't they keep some sort of records, at the very least snow pack depth?
