Hiked/ice skated across Lake Baikal twice. March is a good time, only -30°C at night worst case scenario, ice is still solid. Total solitude once you leave Olkhon or Listvyanka behind you. Not for the faint of heart though, it's beautiful but nobody's going to bail you out if you fuck up, and conditions can be harsh.
Attempting to wipe your ass in a windy -20°C is absolutely miserable. Your ass can take it, but your fingers..
