Possibly the Mont Blanc region in Chamonix [France] on the border of Switzerland... it's also great for climbing!!

Guaranteed early season snow in the Alps is really only available on the glaciers (eg Hintertux, Les Deux Alpes, Saas Fee, Tignes). However, the high Alpine resorts will all usually be skiable by Xmas though snow conditions may not be good.
In Austria despite lower altitudes and lower snow depths, slopes are often at least as skiable because they are on smooth pasture land and not rocky slopes. Try Obertauern, Ischgl, St. Anton. In France, all the usual suspects esp Val Thorens, Tignes, Les Deux Alpes. In Italy Cervinia. In Switzerland Saas Fee, Zermatt, Engelberg.
If you're not too bothered by size, sophistication of resort, Norway (try Hemsedal) or Finland (try Ruha) might suit. Cover in Bulgaria and Romania is usually surer than much of the Alps but not as sure as Scandinavia or the USA. Have fun!

Tignes le Lac (part of the Espace Killy resort) in france is really good, even in early season, as it is so high up. It is also really reasonable considering it is right next door to Val d'Isere which has hosted the Olympics. There are plenty of slopes for beginner right through to expert, as well as some challenging off-piste

I think you should be asking this question in the religion section - how will we know?
