Does anyone have any information on the Ice Pit. There used to be a link on Vertical Strongholds site but I cant seem to find it anymore.

Well, seeing how my Superior Ice book just went AWOL, I'm going by memory here. It's a quarry with farmed ice, about half a dozen routes up to WI5+ (6 even??), all top-roped due to liability. You have to make reservations in advance to climb there, and it fills up rather quickly.
But yeah....the link is gone.
/me searches for his book to get more info. As I recall, they had some phone numbers for it.
I suggest calling up VS and asking.

Now.. I'm not an ice climber, nor have I been to this place, but I have heard a few things regarding it. The last of which was that it was closed, w/ the possiblity of re-opening as a co-op. Now, this might or might not be true.. although, I think you're best answer will come from VS (like Brian had mentioned).
