It's hard to say how conditions might change in the coming weeks, but I'll toss out a few possibilities:
-Kinesava (as Matthew said);
-Lady Mountain (a bit of 5th class);
-Angels Landing (might want/need crampons);
-Sneak Peak (might want crampons for approach; final bit to summit might be spicy);
-Checkerboard Mesa;
-East Mary (a short bit of 5th class);
-Crater Hill (the road in will be icy, so you might have to start walking from lower down);
-Coalpits Peak (will be in the next book; 5th class);
-The Little Altar (will be in the next book; class 3-4 and incredibly cool);
-I forget what I called it but there's a very minor peak just south of Kinesava that gave up surprisingly nice views. That'll be in for sure (it'll be in the next book);
-Cougar Mountain (expect snow, though it's relatively easy anyway);
-Moqui Peak (a bit of 5th class);
-Rosebud (should be in great shape; awesome views; will be in the next book);
-Observation Benchmark (better views than Ob. Point; I'd expect snow/ice on the approach);
-Deertrap Mtn. (probably some snow, but not particularly dangerous if you approach from the east entrance);
-Cable Mtn. (ditto above);
...
Prolly more.
