My bet would be around November 15. Not much on the website yet for winter scheduled activities, but the Women's Wednesdays are scheduled to begin the last week in November. They might have a few runs open earlier in the month. Good if you are a local, not so good if you are coming to VT from any great distance.
Killington and Okemo will probably duke it out again to see who can open in October, but no matter where you go in VT that time of year your chances of having a lot of trail selections are poor. That is unless it gets butt cold and they start farming snow early or mother nature dumps a foot of freshies on Halloween. (We had 4" on Halloween in '06, so it's not unheard of.)
Best bet is to call Stratton and see what their anticipated starting date is. My contacts on the Ski Patrol have told me they're not expecting to be working before Nov.10.
Ski season opens at the same time as the bottom element of snow is extreme adequate at regardless of the indisputable fact that motel you're searching at. as an celebration Wolf Creek i comprehend had some early snow this three hundred and sixty 5 days and their base is already 14in. to that end their lifts are already operating and also you'll ski there. in simple terms search for round and examine which mountains already have snow.

As soon as it gets cold enough. I would guess around the middle of November when they can start making snow that will stick.
