The World's Deepest Snow (PHOTOS)

Feet of snow may sound unusual to you, but in some parts of the world, it's actually typical.

Mountain ranges intercepted by the winter storm track and northern locations downwind from large bodies of water are notorious for annual snowfall of several hundred inches.

We have a list below and photos above of the world's most notorious deep snow locations, along with any recent major snow events.
