This is even more impressive because she was likely using only strength to hold herself up. Pointe shoes are made out of paper and glue, so when they get wet, they become very flimsy.

One from Denali Foxx (Cordero Zuckerman)... sort of a meld between a music video and a skating program. Also there are spoilers from March 12 episode of RPDR in the comments.

At the time of being cast I was a part-time drag queen of 2.5 years that lasted 10 competitive episodes of my favorite television show. I am forever grateful...

2 cool videos of Laura Kottlowski on very clear Alpine lake ice ("What makes this ice so clear is that there are bigger crystals in its construction and there is almost no air bubbles in the water"): https://www.instagram.com/reel/CKWwugfFWjM/ & https://www.instagram.com/p/CKaUB-3FLdT/

Skating on a frozen lake is an otherworldly experience. I was overwhelmed by its purity, its colors and how it resonates beneath my blades. What a privilege to live moments like these, surrounded by the sheer beauty of mother nature.

BBC video published yesterday:

Skating on a once-in-a-decade 'ice window' in Alaska

Footage shows an ice rescue instructor skating on a rare window of ice in Alaska's Alpine lakes.

www.bbc.com

Footage taken by an ice rescue instructor and his wife showed them skating on a rare "ice window" in Alaska's Alpine lakes.
Luc Mehl, who is also an outdoor educator, said that weather conditions had allowed Rabbit Lake to freeze in a way that the ice became see-through because of an "unusually cold but dry transition into winter".

Keegan Messing "Got to skate on some of the most beautiful outdoor ice I’ve ever skating on with the family": https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy2oi2cuGBf/

This Anchorage Daily News featured an article in late October about Keegan's jaunt to "Rabbit Lake in the Chugach Mountains" with his family that was based on his Instagram video:

Watch: Alaskan Keegan Messing shows off his Olympic figure skating moves at Rabbit Lake

Even though he’s retired from competitive skating, Messing still skates professionally and was joined by his family on the ice sheet tucked in the Chugach Mountains on Wednesday.

www.adn.com

Excerpts:

Outdoor ice skating in Alaska is a popular fall and winter activity, from the local ponds to alpine lakes. Rabbit Lake is a more than four-mile hike in from Anchorage trailheads. Messing and his wife Lane rode bikes out, pulling Mia and their son Wyatt in the trailer. At first he said the trip on bikes may have been a mistake.
“I’m not sure it was a smart decision or a stupid one,” he joked. “The kids are 40 pounds together plus gear so you’re talking a 50-pound trailer.”
Messing, who grew up in Girdwood and now lives in Anchorage, said short of the oval at Cuddy Park, it was the best outdoor ice he’d skated on.
“It’s definitely nowhere close to what you’d be skating on at the Olympics,” he said. “But for natural ice, holy smokes, it was so smooth. It was so easy to skate on I was having an absolute ball.”

Messing said he skated Portage Lake last year and did some skates on the ponds between the highway and the inlet in Girdwood as a kid. He said for the video he wore figure skates but also spent some time in nordic skates on the ice. There was even a pick-up hockey game going on the lake, as Messing said members of the Anchorage Drillers U-18 team made the jaunt out to hop on the ice.
“There were probably at least 20 people out on the ice up there, but it’s so big and so spread out, you just found your own pack of ice and you’re out there having a good time,” he said.

Luc Mehl's reply to someone who saw him in the BBC video ("yeah … I gave them a bunch of safety messaging… but it didn’t make the cut!") in the comments of his Instagram photo post showing Laura Kottlowski on Eagle Lake in Alaska: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzepD21vWMJ/

This time when I broke off a piece it looked like octopus suction cups! "): https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzcjFicLgFA/
