  1. I and my wife were at the Dizin resort last February and met this young gentleman whö said to be a guide at Surfiran. We didn’t know Surfiran at the time, so we had a hard time finding someone to arrange and take us to the resort, which we eventually did through our hotel concierge. Unfortunately we are not coming to Iran this winter, but we have recommend him to some of our Finnish friends who might be willing to ski in Iran.
