The Southern Sierra Nevada, which is higher, but only in the highest parts. The
sawtooth peaks on the right are all
14,000'

Parts of the Rockies, of course, and the volcanic peaks of the Cascades.
Snow cover on Shasta varies a lot by year.

There's
always some left before the next winter, but some years, not much.

As you go north, even the lower peaks, like The Sisters, have year round snow.

Rainier is only a couple of hundred feet taller than Shasta, but further north
and with a different weather pattern, so
it holds lots more snow.

And the tall, rugged wilderness of the N. Cascades has year round snow.
