Chamonix
City is modeled on the French town where the first winter Olympics were
held in 1924. The area is nestled in the French Alps and offers
incredible opportunities for sports fans everywhere.
Here in Second Life, Chamonix City opens with fantastic community offerings for both new and old Residents. Global Online Hockey Association
(GOHA), a longstanding active community, has constructed ice hockey
rinks, skating ponds, a replica of Chamonix, and many exciting areas
for events and Resident assistance. You can join the community, get
involved, and find a plethora of new friends and activities. Play
hockey or cheer on the teams! Grab a snowboard and explore or try out the ice skating rink with your friends. There’s plenty to do and see!
Highlights include:
Neutral Zone: Find the quaint village of Chamonix. Head over to the Post Office to contact GOHA staff for assistance or help if you are a new Resident. GOHA hockey hall of fame
is centrally located right next door. There are shops containing free
merchandise for new and old Residents alike. Check out the community area
which features information on how to get involved and make new friends.
Events planned here include live music and meet & greets.

Crosscheck: Hold on to your seats! Two beautiful rinks (one indoor, one outdoor) await you. Grab a hot chocolate and a bench and get ready to watch some fast-paced professional level ice hockey action. The game schedule

When a game is not in play, you can get some free sticks and try it
out yourself. League members are available to assist you.
This area also features a free ice skating pond (a great spot for a romantic night or a group night out with friends) and free snowboarding equipment.
