nice! Grandeco gets a fair bit of snow considering where it is. If you're lucky the season can start in late Nov and continue till early May. It's like a little bit of Hokkaido transplanted into Fukushima.

Gran Deco is a nice compact ski-jo. Good for a day trip for sure, pretty good for families i reckon as all the courses come together at the bottom of the resort, if any kids get lost, then you can always tell em to just ride to the bottom of the slope and uyou'll get em there

Never been there.

 

Not really wanting to bring it all up but.... just how far from "Fukushima" is this place? What are the readings like there?

 

Looks like about 85 km from the power plant, from google maps.

 

As for readings, their web site quotes the Kitashiobara and Inawashiro city hall readings, which are 0.14 and 0.12 uSv/h respectively.

However, someone seems to have taken a radiation monitor to their slope on July 8th, according to this map (on the earthquake page

of this site): http://www.nnistar.c.../fukushima.html

There are 4 readings at the ski area itself, and one in the nearby woods: 0.33, 0.34, 0.23, and 0.25 uSv/h, plus one somewhere between 0.1 and .2 uSv/h (exact value not given).

So... somewhere around 0.26 uSv/h on average as of July 8th. It'll be a little bit lower now, but close to that.

 

There is also Prof. Hayakawa's contour map, based on the same measurements as in the map above, which puts Grandeco right at the 0.25 uSv/h contour line:

There are also government helicopter-based measurements on this map:

...where it looks like Grandeco is right about on the 0.2 uSv/h contour line.
