GhorbanAli-Suleghani from Ski Iran Iran
I am president of Iran Ski Association(NGO). Dizin is known as the best skiing resort not only in Iran but also in the whole of Asia. I've spent days in many good ski resorts in Asia but not one was like Dizin. Sunshine & dry snow powder are the best characteristics of this resort. These specifications can not be found in other resorts. With these spacialities Dizin and other resorts, in Iran, couldn't make its prospected progress because of ski federation president mismanagement for 30 years (didn't get changed and no trusted election). This is the reason why ski sport in Iran couldn't make any progress in regional and world champion match. The equipment is old and out of day so trainees can't practice properly. So all of the trainees, sportsmen and women ask your hand to save the future of this sport in Iran. We are looking for your wise desisions and help.

Yes, Dizin is a great place to ski (no humidity, great powder, etc). The only thing that can make your trip unpleasant are some very careless local snowboarders who sometimes use people as "gates". Last winter a friend of mine got hit by one of them. Both were seriously injured (the closest hospital is in Karaj if you have taken the Chalus road). So be aware of these guys and you will have one of your best ski experiences.

Dizin is the best place that I've ever seen. Moreover the best pistes in Asia where you can ski for more than 7 hours each day and then you can have the best DIZI(Ab goosht) in all around the world at "MANSOUR DIZI SARA" on Jade Balla, on your left on the way from Dizin.

Bozorgzadegan Amir from Ski Iran Iran
I did ski at Dizin in the middle of March 2010 on the way back home to Tehran from Caspian sea, north of Iran. Dizin is surely best in Middle East, if we don't say in Asia, regarding variety of slopes, altitude, sun-shine, people hospitality etc.... If the equipment is renewed and more extended, it will be number one in region up to Balkan countries and Causus ranges in Russia. There are two roads to Dizin: 1. the main road to Chalus (Caspian Sea) which you turn to Velayat rood after Gachsar area, it will be around 110 km from Tehran! 2. The road in roodbar ghasran, pass through Shemshak and end to upper parking of Dizin in winter time, which is 65km from Tehran roughly! This road is shorter and more popular to use. But the problem is Avalange! All skiers say why they don't make some Galleries at the point of accidents where usually Avalange take places? This year, around one month ago, this phenomenon killed some people again and some others wounded! and this is repeated senario yearly and nobody take care !? I hope the organs who are responsible for..., pay attention to that,and prevent of unpleasant accident,s repetition from now on... Gallery structures are not so expensive even the resort can do that for it's interests and benefits, and absorb so many skiers from this short and available route! most people prefer to ski at Shemshak and Darbandsar because of said road Avalanges!!! By the way, try Dizin even with it's available possibilities and fun... and remember 40 years ago and the ones who established such a resort for healthness of the people and youngs to avoid them from ruined drugs!

mitra&mehdi Kermani from Ski Iran Iran
It's so good to ski there at Dizin. You can sleep as much as you want and drive at 10.30; reach around 12. Ski for 3 hours and when you are starving you can eat at Kouhestan (chelokabab) and you can be on time for your daily task (lol) The only problem is the long queues!! which thank to Islamic Republic ladies queue is always shorter than gents. Have fun!!

Dizin is the best skiing resort not only in Iran but also in the whole of Asia. Believe me, I've just spent days in any good resorts in whole Asia but not one like Dizin. So I just have to say one thing here: enjoy every minute you're in Dizin.

nazanin rastgar from Ski USA - California USA - California
Dizin is one of the best slopes you could go to. I go to Dizin around Christmas holidays every year. I have been doing so for the last 10 years. I enjoy every single thing about it. I usually stay in the hotel Dizin for about 10 days. most of the time my problem was food since I am very picky about what I eat and I used to get sick every time I ate at the hotel! But this year something came to my rescue and I advice all of you people to visit this place. It was called Lotus Complex, about 3 minutes drive from the hotel and the food was just amazing and don't let me start on the atmosphere and the design. You should definitely pay a visit next time you are in Dizin. *** important: this place is only reachable via the (jade paen) or when you are staying in Dizin.

pejman from Ski Iran Iran
Pros for Dizin: best and biggest ski resort in Iran have variety of ski path so everyone, from beginner to adv, can enjoy beautiful scenery, better facilities, restaurants, toilets ... Cons for Dizin: overcrowded at weekends far from Tehran both roads to Dizin are not that good. Getting back to Tehran at weekends is a nightmare (both road and cable car) .... tickets 20$ renting equipment from 10-25$ - request haggling

Mohammad FOROOGHIEH from Ski Iran Iran
Actually Dizin is considered as one of the best skiing places in the world. You'll have the possibility both for skiing and snowbording in a place which you can find a variety of high and low angle slopes, bumps, nice views, .... I believe that Dizin has also a good potential of attracting people because of its type of anow and it's easy access to the capital. There are some hotels in the area which makes possible for night stay. The main problem of Dizin is the poor facility of carrying people and low capacity of machines which leads people to spend lots of time in queues waiting for their turn. Of course, this problem becomes worse in weekends. Enjoy Dizin Mohammad

Ali ATAEI from Ski Iran Iran
After Canada, the Iranian quality of snow (Dizin) is the best in whole world. Giant Slalom, slalom, snow boarding… every thing is possible in Dizin international resort. Very nice place and good people. I have tried European resorts before and honestly I think you enjoy more in Dizin. Just try it once and you will be back here each winter.
