Snow starts at 800 m on the access road to Cheam/Lady and it is a long way to hit the trailhead. Above the meadows it was breakable crust on all aspects we traveled on. Turned around at 2000 m due to whiteout. Skiing was terrible, and best turns were had below 1800 m on the logging road. Watch out for the bond to crust with the incoming snow.
