Here's my question: What boots would the QPs here recommend for cold-weather wear, where the snow is knee-deep over ankle-twisting rocks?

I'm not a QP but...
I would recommend these:
If you are going to be using crampons:

or
Any Asolo that will accept crampons.
If you are not going to be using crampons I like these:

Danners again
I have friends that swear by these but I have no first hand expericene with the company:
Wolverines
With snow that deep you need gortex pants or tall gaitors I like taking both because gaitors are light and pack easy. You might be able to save your ankles with snow shoes (depending on the density of the snow).
YMMV
