I'm not really sure as far as the whole country goes, so i'm not claiming Colorado gets the earliest snow, i'm just stating what i know about it.

Colorado seems to always get snow in early September down around Silverton and Wolf Creek, and usually hits the rest of the state in Mid september to start building bases for Ski resorts and openings as early as Mid-October. And making passes like loveland pass skiable in early october.

Its pretty obvious...and if anything you should have fucked up by including Hawaii, not Alaska. Including Hawaii doesnt make sense though as its lower 48, not 49, and as posted above the lower 48 includes the 'core' of America- the 48 states linked together.
