Just noticed that this URL no longer works:

Can someone point me to the ice building formula that was discussed recently here? It must have a cryptic title because I don't see it on the VTNordicSkating group web page.

I’m not sure what happened, but it appears to have been a strange glitch. Lake Ice is functional and available at http://lakeice.squarespace.com/

If you’re still not seeing it, let me know.

Thanks for the heads up!

I’m not able to pick it up either. There’s a long wait with a black page and then it gives me a whoops. Something went wrong message.

I hope I can be brought back to life. If not, I’m hoping somewhere somebody has an archive or a back up of it.

Looks fine to me. Has anyone created a local mirror of the site, just in case? Who "owns" the site currently?

Bob’s family owns the website. I help them with it, so I’m a good contact person if you notice any problems or have any questions. And yes, there are local archives.

Don’t worry, the site isn’t going anywhere!

Thanks,

If the site ever happens to go offline, an archive is available in the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20241213105351/http://lakeice.squarespace.com/

1 out of 3 gave me the whoops. IIRC, squarespace upgrades your site to newer versions of their software at various times. Perhaps his is on older software that doesn’t always play well with squarespace?

Does anyone know who the admin is?
