Tioga Pass - a number of places would work - east side of Mt. Dana, Mt. Conness - Northeast side, North Peak...

ditto- best option hands down this time of year. Head somewhere out of Saddlebag lake.

Way to be encouraging! (Seriously, I see your main point.)

The U-notch was my first - and now I'll never forget how

Don't know the current conditions, but there should be plenty of options visible from the road if you drive in from the south if there is a decent amount of snow as the rangers say. Just roadside somewhere, or could park at Lassen Peak and find a spot there.

go through the southwest entrance to the lassen peak trailhead.

the south facing slope you stare at would be good but there is a knob just west of the parking lot that has a steeper north facing slope that slightly cornices. maybe 200 tall. Should stay firm later in the day.

have fun and you should summit since you're already there.
