If you really need to build a fire, the area under pines, hemlocks and other evergreens is always less snowcovered, and offers good protection from the elements. Make sure you clear the needles away first, and watch for low-hanging branches. Of course, you'll want to use a pan or fire blanket as well... Sounds like a good argument for a sierra stove!!!

Side Note:
I read somewhere that the area where the Donner Party's fire ring/pit was built was over 8 feet below the surface of the snow!
