  1. The resorts generally open mid to late november, not great skiing and no good trails, but it's skiing none-the-less.

    If you ski back country you can go above about 12 thousand feet and start as early as mid-September, usually really good by mid-October.

    My personal favs as far as resort areas are Crested Butte, Wolf Creek, & Monarch.


  2. I assume your looking for powder if you want the most snow...

    therefor I suggest you stay away from any of the aspen resorts because they are extremely crowded and any powder will get tracked out quickly.  If you dont mind this and are looking for nice slopes and amazing resorts, the Aspen is your place, but I prefer more remote and quiet places that focus on SKIING. honestly, go to utah; specificly either of the cottonwood canyons.

  3. The "most snow" will vary by the season, and even by the month. November is very early though at those latitudes. For skiing in November, you'll have to go further north. Think Montana/Canada etc. That said, Wolf Creek Pass is usually the first to open, and often has the largest base in Colorado.

    Since everyone else is throwing in their favorites... :-) If you want great, fantastic skiing with small lift lines in Colorado, check out Telluride.

  4. I'm not certain about November but in general, Wolf Creek gets the most snow!

  5. Well, the best skiing is in Utah (had to say it, i'm a local.  but hey, ITS TRUE!)

    Edit: Like Alex said, go to Utah if you can.  The cottonwoods are great, but honestly Snow Basiin is better in my opinion.  When people think utah, they usually think Park City or Alta.  I have been to every resort in utah pretty much and if I had to pick one place for the rest of my days, i would go to Snow Basin.
