Unless you are going to experience ski touring in Dizin and will need very good and professional equipment to ski off-piste through the mountains of Alborz Mountain Range, you don’t need to worry about anything. There are several ski rentals at and around Dizin ski Resort where you can easily rent your ski equipment. Except for the socks and the hat that are for sale, you can rent all the other items and depending on the number of the items, it’ll cost you from 15 to at most 25 USD per day. There is one very important point that the foreign tourist should bear in mind; Iranians have their own internationally isolated banking system. So, while they can easily use their Iranian debit cards anywhere in this country, the foreign Visa and Master cards are literally useless here. So, bring along enough cash!

The skiing season at Dizin Ski Resort starts from around Dec 15 and lasts until around April 15. The reason for this relatively long skiing season at this mostly hot and dry country is the high altitude at which Iran’s ski resorts including Dizin are located. Dizin resort is located at 3600 meters above the sea level, and that’s maybe why the snow on Dizin slopes are so amazingly powdery. As far as the ski pass is concerned, it’ll cost you around 25 USD to enter the resort and you can ski from 8 am in the morning till 4 pm at which the resort stops working.
