It snows on the top of Mauna Kea, a 13,000 foot volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kea is the Hawaiian word for "white" so Mauna Kea means white mountain, so named because of the snow on the top. It also snows on the top of the other mountain on the Big Island, called Mauna Loa. And about once every year or two there is slight snow on the top of Haleakala, the 10,000 foot volcano on Maui. None of the other Hawaiian islands have mountains high enough to ever get snow, because the other islands are all older than Big Island or Maui, and so have had more millions of years to erode down to lower elevations.

Hawaii has volcano's that are dusted with snow, during certain parts of the year. They are Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Haleakala.
I know volcanos with snow right? I swear I'm not making it up. Check it out for yourself. I found this link.

if it does, it would have to be at the highest elevation. But I don't think it does.
