Snow Country Radiation Checks - All Resorts Safe

Radiation has been big in the news over the past year and it has been a concern for many visitors, especially from overseas. The powers that be have been keen to allay any fears and have been conducting test on all tourist spots in the region. Geiger counter wielding scientists have been a bit of a common site over the past few months here.

The good news is that everywhere has been given the all clear with radiation levels sitting well within the acceptable zone. With that fear out of the way you can head to Snow Country and enjoy the amazing snow that has fallen of late.

We've just been hit by almost 6 days of snow, giving us a very White Christmas and masses of the fluffy stuff piling up everywhere. Lots of work for the locals as they get their houses clear and dig the car out, but awesome for those here to enjoy it. Tsunan even made the news as one of the heaviest hit.

For those of you of a scientific bent the radiation results for each area can be found here:
