Does anyone know if there is sufficient snowfall in Colorado ski resorts in late November or early December?

How to compare these two ski resorts? Which one is more suitable for intermediates?
Do they have on mountain accomodations?

These are local mountains, not much ski in/ski out facilities. A Basin is more less for experts, it was a small area, but recently its expanded and don't know what is the result.

Arapahoe Basin has been the first ski mountain to open in the USA for the last couple of ski seasons. Last year they were opened on 10 October 2007. http://www.arapahoebasin.com/

You can take a shuttle or rent a car to drive (about 2 hours) to Arapahoe Basin from Denver Airport.

there must be enough snow for sure, u don't have to worry
CO and UT has the most and best snow upon the states besides alaska
if u are going to denver u can give Vail or Beaver Creek a shot, those 2 are the best
Vail is only 110 miles from DIA( like 2 hours drive), or if u can take a local flight to EGE(Eagle County Airport) it only takes 10 mins to get there
:D
