I've rolled in the snow after sauna on a Vermont mountain, and it's wonderful. Helps me understand how humans can thrive in extreme climates--like the kids in Tibet who run around barefoot in the snow.
Some of my neighbors have hot tubs they enjoy lolling in when it's above -7°C, but that lacks the contrast.
Of course in this moment of the Anthropocene it's hard to generalize, but does the lake usually freeze or is it generally open all winter?
