Any of a number of alpine lakes in the mountains would be frozen over in the winter. If I had to choose one, I'd plump for Lochnagar in the upper Shotover. because it is at high altitude, and in a generally 'clear air' region.

Other candidates would be ones such as Lake Onslow in the mountains near Roxburgh, or Lake Alta on the Remarkables Ski Field.

The Crater lake in Mt Ruapehu would not make the list because it very much has thermal heating from its dormant volcano.
