Never assume until you know, great artcile. With our 114 degrees here skiing sounds great, I used to do a lot of skiing in Austria where on the glaciar you can still ski year round.

I never would have guessed there was good snow skiing in Iran. You learn something every day.

I would love to go back and go skiing at Tochal Ski Resort which starts at the base of the mountains in Tehran. http://www.damawand.de/Ski/Tochal.html I was fortunate enough to ride the gondola it when it opened, but it was prior to the ski season. According to that website:
That is far from the highest peak in Iran. Mount Damavand holds that title with an impressive height of 5,610 meters (18,406 feet). It is the highest volcano in Asia and the Middle East.
Great post! Perception is very important
