Wolf Mountain Ski Resort

Well, it is about time that I post some more exciting places to visit in Second Life. So, I am going to start posting cool places to visit to celebrate the holidays and winter season.


The first place I visited was Wolf Mountain Ski Resort. The ski resort sits on 6 sims with many winter activities. The landing point is the lodge. The lodge has a grand fireplace to sit by and chat and information on the resort including cabin rentals.

Activities include:

- Horseback Riding
- Skiing
- Canoeing
- Snowboarding
- Taking a Sleigh Ride



Because it is such a large place, it is fun just to walk around and explore what is there. Of course, this is SL, so it took a little bit to figure some things out. My boyfriend and I had a hoot with it.

Sky Galaxy @ Effie's Designs

If you haven't heard this amazing new artist yet, here is your chance!

Taking a variety of different songs and artists, 'Sasha' translates each tune and places them gently beside a soothing, sensual line of vocal and simplistic piano arrangements. Nineteen years ago, he was brought into this world by his mother, of whom resided in Smolensk ( Смоленск ), Russia and a father whom moved to the states from Berlin. From the first moments of which he could mutter a sound, singing had become nothing short of a passion.

His influences include the vocals and production talents of Imogen Heap, the emotion often found in the likes of Coldplay, Keane and Death Cab for Cutie, and in the other artists that continue to fill his favorites list; Above & Beyond, Frou Frou, Rufus Wainwright, Kate Havnevik, Yann Tiersen, and many more.
Skye is a musician, performer and vocalist professionally in his first life, but likes to keep his two lives well apart.

He joined Second Life in order to pursue the feeling of growth in his abilities, once more, and those numerous chain of events leading to one better opportunity to the next until you are stumbling for the top.

Halloween

Hi, Everyone!

Sorry, I haven't been able to get to my annual posting of Haunted Houses. I've been moving Effie's Designs to its new location. I'll post more about it later.

However, I did want to tell everyone to check out last year's link. I'm sure a number of the Haunted Houses are still around waiting to spook you. :-) Here is the link:

If the store gets completed soon, I will do a new posting.

Enjoy!

An American Landmark

I've never been there in real life, but I can imagine the awsome feel of standing an staring up at the large faces of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson at Mount Rushmore.

You can visit a sculpty representation in Second Life. You will teleport to a viewing deck that also includes a bit of information on Mount Rushmore. It is a very interesting build.

Elliott - Shopping in a Unique Area

Venturing around Second Life and discovering great builds is one of my favorite things to do. I'm in awe when I find a great build that is also functional in some way. Recently, I discovered the sim called Elliott.


Elliott is a shopping area with great atmosphere. The autumnal look of Elliott with winding waterways covered with walkway bridges, tall leafless trees, and rustic wood buildings begs you to discover every nook and cranny. As you take a discovery walk, notice the details that makes this build extraordinary such as the candles lit on the pillars of the walkways and the uniquely shaped and textured shops.


Elliott has three themed areas:

• XO Swamp
• St. Ides Heaven Carnival Junkyard
• Shooting Star Pet Cemetery

Some of the shops in Elliott are as unique as the sim. So, as you travel around, look in some of the specialty shops as well. You will find stores such as DARE, Chapeau Tres Mignon, Physique, Strange Candy, Gritty Kitty, The Sea Hole, Periquita, Little Boy Blue, Lurve Bite, The Stringer Mausoleum and many more!
