*****Novale is finally ready to welcome winter lover visitors for the winter season! *****
Snow and Christmas ambiance are well installed throughout the region. The main attractions in December include the Christmas Market with Booths offering Dabici and Kelso original creations and the Advent-Hunt, which is a sort of hybrid between the concepts of ‘advent calendar’ and ‘treasure hunt’. Novale’s Advent-Hunt begins on December 1st and ends on Decembre 24th.
Throughout the winter season, usually ending in mid-march, winter lovers can explore, and get immerse in, a diversity of winter sceneries and habitats, enjoy the sleigh rides and practice many winter sports, including ice-skate, snow saucer, toboggan, alpine ski and cross-county ski.
To all of you, we Dabici Straulino and Kelso Uxlay, wish you happy Advent and wintertime, le plus beau des hivers et du temps des fêtes, frohe Winter und Weihnachten, and Buon Inverno.

Am 25. und 26. Dezember verwandelt sich die Novale-Adventsjagd in eine Weihnachts- und 2. Weihnachtsfeiertags-Schatzsuche.

Wenn Sie irgendwo auf den Adventsbaum klicken, der sich neben dem Gewächshaus in der Nähe des Landepunkts befindet, erhalten Sie eine Notizkarte mit einer vollständigen Liste der 24 Hinweise, die nacheinander zwischen dem 1. und 24. Dezember veröffentlicht wurden. Verwenden Sie die Hinweisliste, um Weihnachtskugeln zu finden, die in der Region verstreut sind. Alle Weihnachtskugeln werden aktiv sein und ihr Geschenk bei Berührung (vorausgesetzt, Sie stehen in einem Abstand von 5 m oder weniger von der Kugel) vergeben.

Wenn Sie den Advent ein paar Tage verpasst haben, ist dies Ihre Gelegenheit, Ihre Serie von 24 exklusiven Geschenken zu vervollständigen.

On Dec. 25th and 26th, the Novale Advent Hunt will transform into a Xmas and Boxing Day Treasure Hunt.

If you click anywhere on the Advent tree located near the greenhouse close to the landing point, you will get a notecard containing a complete list of the 24 hints that were released one by one between Dec. 1st and Dec. 24th. Use the hint list to locate Xmas baubles scattered in the region. All Xmas baubles will be active and give their gift on touch (provided that you stand at a distance of 5 m or less from the bauble).

If you missed a few days during the Advent, this is your opportunity to complete your series of 24 exclusives gifts.

From Dabici and Kelso
Meilleurs voeux de Noël à tous nos amis d'Opensim et en particulier à tous ceux qui ont visité les quatre saisons de Novale au cours de la dernière année. Au plaisir de vos revoir tous l'an prochain.

Die besten Weihnachtswünsche an alle unsere Opensim Freunde, insbesondere an alle, die Novale vier Jahreszeiten im vergangenen Jahr besucht haben. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie alle im nächsten Jahr wiederzusehen.

Winter Night with full moon,
when snowmen get alive and wave at visitors

Skating northward, beyond the montain ridge can be hazardous.
If you encounter a hungry polar bear or if you are facing low blizzard
look around for a refuge to spend the night.

Jack enjoys his life in his isolated and very humble house
Like he said : « Thanks God, I have everything I need: food, a good stove
confortable beds, light and even good music ! »

A lot of snow can be fun
But it can also be rough for roofs.
If you are lucky, you might find an Elf to help you
Or.. the other way around, if you find and Elf, you will be lucky :)

In each Novale's season, there is a dedicated Dancing Place
In Winter we are Dancing on Ice, near the Ice Palast

If you come to our xmas market,
make sure you take the time to visit the
houses on the plateau surrounding the market

Oh my God, time flies ! Already a third of our Advent Hunt is over.

A word of caution though, as indicated inworld :
Please do not use Santa's throne near Sant & Co. It is poorly scripted!

Debra Ann Congi Beautiful sim. Lots going on here and friendly. I enjoyed my visit.
Thirza Ember Dabici and Kelso are extraordinary builders. Smooth scripts and a stunning landscape make this one of the most fun places to go in the hypergrid. Frequently updated to reflect the changing seasons, it also has lots of beautiful freebies and photo opportunities. Thanks for having the Safari visit !
Allie Dawson I don't know HOW I missed such a wonderful region for so LONG!! Even in my way-too-short visit ( I was focused mainly on the SURFING!! ) it is clear that this is a lovingly built region with much attention paid to details. Many thanks to the owner, Dabici, for taking the time to show me around....

Thx Contessa. Just in case you do not know already, Novale is changing 4 times a year to match our seasons in Easter Canada. Currently it is spring. Summer will begin circa 3rd week of June. Do not miss the Underwater tour.

Thanks Sunshine, did you try the sleigh rides with Santas, the country ski tour etc ? The country ski tours is approx. 7 km long and bring you to places that are not easy to discover. All info is at the red kiosk near landing.

I strongly advise visitors to dress appropriately. Seasons change, summer is warm, the other seasons aren't, and winter is pretty cold here. This is Québec after all.

Also, if you want to hike on the trail, you'd better wear sturdy and comfortable shoes or boots. This isn't exactly an asphalt road. So, ladies, leave your high heels at home.

Generally, bring a bag for what the mill and the farm have to offer. In summer, pack some swimwear there's a little beach along the trail, and I recommend you to hike clockwise so that you pass the harder parts of the trail before you can cool down and relax at the beach.

Oh, and Captain Kelso's tour is actually under water, so you will need swimwear or a wetsuit and some diving/SCUBA gear. You can get that at the entrance of the tour, but you may want to bring your own.

You just got me singing "I'm in the army now. tah da da da da tee da" (radio check was my forte in the army along with driving a tank). I'll check it when there's not such a crowd there. I looked earlier on the Novale OSW page and saw 3 avs there before your invite, I sure hope those aren't NPC's and Satyr boots the region. :)

@Dabici132 Check yer beacon please, and when yer done with that, unban me will ya? so I can keep nagging you to update all yer radios. I know I'm not banned so please dont type the sad "Sorry". Please please PLEASE dont type that. Oh, and know that I jumped to Novale tonight to make sure your region was up before I typed a mess of characters about it in public.

Hi Shawn, I will update the beacon as soon as Novale Winter is ready to receive visitors. We are in the process of upgrading to 9.2 and in enlarging the SIM. As soon as it is open, I will let you know :)

Ohhhh, well that's a lil bit understandable Dab's. it would be more understandable If I got YOUR explanation of why a visitor is banned instead of the banning notice that I saw. Just to be clear, the grid is still up, just not set for hypergrid right? Or is just that the region is set to "Allow only residents and groups listed below" and not the usual "Anyone can visit"? I'm just wanting to know what causes that unwanted banning notice that appears to everyone when it is not an intentional dramatic notice. I look forward to seeing and hearing Christmas Season in Novale. :)

Hello Shawn, we are currently dealing with two grids, the old one and the new one. The new is not yet visible in hypergrid. The old is detectable but closed with access only to the group of two members (Kelso and I). The damm banned message is generated by the system, automatically when a grid is closed to all visitors except us both. I cannot edit that message and I hate it very much so. Let's hope that this will change with the upgrade. We are working intensively and needs to close access to the two grids to uptimize the resources used. And, be reassured, you are not banned from Novale.
