Dizin is a ski resort situated to the north of Tehran iran in the Alborz mountain range.

The huge Dizin ski resort was established in 1969 [1:]. The ski season in Dizin also lasts longer than European ski resorts(from December to May) because of its high altitude.[2:].

The highest ski lift ha reaches 3,600 m (11,800 ft), making it one of the 40 highest ski resorts in the world.

Dizin ski amenities include two hotels, 19 cottages and 5 restaurants, villas and private apartments around the Dizin ski resort accommodate thousands of people every year.

Beth Hi Tony,
Thanks for befriending this mystery author! I've written one poem in my adult life, "Ride the Wind" about riding a motorcycle, and it was published in Rubber Side Down, the Biker Poetry Anthology. You may be interested in the book, since there's a lot of great poetry included from some stalwarts who've been active in the biker poetry community for years (unlike me). Here's the link:
