It is snowing big in the Alps now, so all eyes are looking at the different resorts webcams to see if they will have an early start, or at least, start on their attempted start day. So far it is looking good!
As per Skiinfo and TheLocal.it, here are the opening dates of the different resorts:

Typical dates of opening is end of November or beginnings of December. But Cervinia is already opened since 26 October, accessing with its lifts to ski on the Swiss side where the glacier is. Now they are opening their own side of the slopes. From 20th November, Plain Maison, Fornet and Bontadini chairlifts open. The Italian ski pass costs EUR 55. You need the Swiss pass to ski on the glacier on top (which is a bit pricier!)
The first snow at altitude arrived in mid-September, knocking on the door of a new ski season that will last 11 months at the Cervino Ski Paradise area.
The lifts in Breuil-Cervinia will open on Saturday 26 October 2024 and close on 7 September 2025.

For the second year in a row, there will be no more interruptions between winter and summer, the endless season will provide extended fun for skiers and snowboarders who enjoy holidays in the snow, trips and hikes for mountaineers, and high-altitude experiences for pedestrians who want to explore Zermatt or the Little Matterhorn via the innovative Matterhorn Alpine Crossing.

If you count the km of the full area Breuil-Cervinia, Valtourneche and Zermatt- you can ski an inter-connected area of 350 km of slopes!
Swissinfo.ch published a very good table with all the ski resorts’ lift ticket rates – which is good to see when planning a ski holiday – even though the price of the lift ticket is not all, and it accounts to only a 6% of the ski holiday, but, every little helps!
This is not an exhaustive list, but you have something to compare. I am assuming that the prices within the Dolomiti Superski area, are showing all the same rates, as they must be selling the Dolomiti Superski lift.
