Most ski resorts open when there is at least 3 or 4 feet of snow, depending on the terrain. The exception would be those that have an all-year program of things to do there.
In my area (in and around N. Idaho) there are dozens and dozens of ski areas. In some years, they have not had enough snow until January or February of the next year. On the other hand, I have seen the surrounding ski resorts opening in October when there is a good, cold, early winter.
Of course, resorts at higher elevations may get colder and have snow sooner than the lower ones.
The Loveland Ski Area is located near Georgetown, Colorado. It is the nearest ski resort to Denver, Colorado, and is only 53 miles away. The Loveland Ski Area is known as the best ski area in Colorado.
No
Referring either to Loveland (the town that is north of Denver) or to Loveland (the ski resort), they are both about 120 miles from Colorado Springs.

A good candiate would be Les 3 Vallées having almost 100 chair lifts.
All ski lifts should have something. Most have foot rests attached to the bar.
loveland Mt. Hood is open all year long (race, mogul and freestyle camps in the summer). They always have the first snow.
No, with 4 lifts that is a really small ski area.
