The pat answer is 'anywhere there is snow'; a more useful answer is that Helvellyn and High Street ranges in the eastern Lakes are generally considered to have the most reliable snow-holding properties.
Access to the fells is not usually a problem in the Lakes, so I don't think there is much problem with the 'legally' part as for 'safely' that depends inter alia on the snow conditions, your skill and the height of your 'unjustifiable' risk threshold. Personally, I nearly always enjoy skiing and, for that matter, being in the Lakes. But I wouldn't fly from S Texas in anticipation of Lake District skiing!
