Poster: A snowHead
|
Dizin is, according to the country's Cultural Heritage News Agency "one of the biggest ski resorts of the world". The resort has just been appointed by the International Ski Federation to host two international grass-skiing championships in 2006 and 2007.
More information from this news release - plus - a description of the resort's facilities from The Ski Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Any other dizzying facts about Dizin welcome.

I think they just missed out one little word... "grass" (ski resorts). In the context of the article - grass skiing - I suppose that's just about forgiveable!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The chance of Vail employing an Islamic news agency would be roughly comparable to Saddam Hussein becoming a rabbi.

Indeed! And I see that this time the UN inspectors have found something.

IIRC Dizin has 3 gondolas, 4 elderly 2 man chairs and a handful of drag lifts. Precisely 1 Black piste. World class - don't think so. It does have a respectable amount of vertical (~ 900m), a longish reliable season (Nov - April) and can have great snow and weather conditions for most of that period. Very cheap lift passes - less than $10 / day.
But the Mullahs are more than talking it up - - - - except perhaps for grass skiing. Where it does seem to be well thought of and has already hosted international events.
