Best Time to Ski in Iran
The climax of skiing in Iran comes to January and February, so you can highlight these two months for a new, different experience. However, the highlands are covered with snow between late November and early May and the snow season sometimes goes on to the end of May. You’d better go skiing on those days that are not weekend days to the local people. Tehran ski resorts are usually filled with Iranians when it’s Nowruz, the Persian Holiday of New Year. So, it’s best to avoid these resorts between the 19th and 22nd of March, if you prefer to avoid the crowd.
