Looks to me like both Admin and Silverton are on point. Looks like a fair bit of snow there - even in the background areas, but also looks like the pic is staged at a spot where wind drifting accentuated the depth too.
I know the front range mtns had enough that even after several days of warmth there is still some snow up on the peaks... I've also seen as much as 3 feet come in a late Sept storm (up really high) so it's not all that unusual. Though also typical is we'll get a long warm stretch somewhere in Oct which will melt it all out before the real lasting snows come for the winter...
