I'm looking for a place on the west coast that is going to have the best snow and the most open runs/lifts for thanksgiving weekend - anything in CO would be ideal but most mtns there aren't looking very open.
This... I'm from new york. I understand that considering CO to be the west coast may be incorrect but I was also including states like California, Colorado was just where I thought I'd be going to this time of year.

there are several resorts open in CO, but we have yet to get serious coverage, and as such, the mountains are opening terrain slowly, bit by manmade bit.
point being nowhere is epic yet. its only get out, get some turns in. if you want kickers, breck has 3, a-basin and keystone just have rails/jibs, not sure about loveland.
No more Colorado. Heading out to UT and riding Brighton and Snowbird. You can never go wrong with Utah snow. It cost a lot to switch the trip but it will be worth it if we get 10+" of fresh for Friday!
The Cottonwoods have had a little over a foot in the last 48 hours and it is still snowing. Another foot to come later this week (hopefully).
Snowbird is opening the Tram on Thursday and chickadee and mid gad on Wednesday. I would venture a guess that both resorts open a ton more terrain for the holiday weekend. They have had 71" so far this season.

If you're going to come to CO, I'd suggest Steamboat or Crested Butte. They've been getting the goods lately. Summit County has largely been getting skunked, so unless you want to ride crowded as fuck scraped off hardpack, I'd pass. You'd basically be coming across the country to ride east coast type conditions.
Why you gotta switch it off to Wasatchsnowforecast.com that place is legit.
