I've met many Europeans and even a few Americans on Iran's ski slopes. Skiing is quite popular with the Iranians themselves who regularly make the 2.5 hour drive from Tehran to Shemshak and Dizin, amongst other places. Iran is a beautiful country, with an ancient civilization, and the Iranian people are exceptionally hospitable. There are many travelogues on the web about all of this.
