The article as it stands is more suited for Wikitravel, not for an encyclopedia. I have removed some parts (below), but more cleaning is needed. -- Egil 16:08, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Getting there: Dizin is located in the Alborz mountains north of Tehran. Driving time is about 2.5 hours from the capital city. The road to Dizin is of a very good quality but four wheel drive or chains are required for the last 10 or 12 km ( 6 or 7 miles) when there's snow - which is frequently the case.
A day lift pass is extremely cheap at around 25,000 Iranian Rials (2 pounds sterling, or 4 dollars). It is quick, cheap and easy to hire boots and skis and even clothing in the village.
The only reported problem are the touts trying to persuade Western skiers to take a private instructor - although that isn't a bad idea as it's also some of the world's cheapest ski guiding
There's a reason it reads that way: it's a copyvio from a travel guide. --Carnildo 03:03, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
My friend's grandfather used to own the land many years ago - until the Shah took it away and developed the ski resort. I think he used to run sheep on it. --Commking 23:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
