Group Members!!!
      There are 16 ski resorts in Iran, but the most famous and largest of them
is Dizin. The resort has a reputation for excellent snow often like powder, high
altitude (one of the world's 40 highest ski centers) and the north facing slopes
of Mt Sichal. The resort length is 4 km with 950 meters vertical descents at
altitudes of 3600 to 2650 meters from the see level.
The ski facilities include 3 gondola lines, 2 chair lifts and 6 T-bar lifts. The
main line takes from first station in height of 2650 m to a restaurant in the
middle of the mountain at about 3175 m where there are many other lifts
including the one that takes to the top just below the summit of Mt sichal.
In the upper slopes of Dizin there are magnificent panorama of 4387 m Mt
Kholeno, 4210 m Mt Sarakchal, 4156 m Mt Koloun Bastak, 5671 m Mt Damavand in the
east and 4850 m Mt Alamkouh in the west.
snow disappears in Dizin on summer, but skiing continues, in the recent years
grass skiing has become popular and several international competitions have been
held in Dizin.
Distance between Tehran and Dizin from the Karaj-Chalous road is about 123 km
and via Shemshak road is 71 km. Dizin has 2 hotels, 19 cottage and 5
restaurants.
I will send you more pictures of this Ski Resort in a few days.
There is a reliable source to get information and plan to go to Iran For Ski,
Mountain Ski and Ski touring: http://www.iralto.com
Hope you enjoy it!

Hello Everyone! I'm not selling anything!
I wanted to inform you about a wonderful travel company myself, my
mother and thousands of other people are members of, Your Travel
Biz. I love YTB because now I enjoy the same travel perks as travel
agents. I fly for super low rates! Cruise for under 40 bucks a night
(outside cabin, not in the engine room).  I took a trip to
St.Marteen in August, myr hotel was $ 59.00 a night instead of
$180.00. All of my travel cost have been cut in half  since I
joining YTB.
YTB is one of the largest online travel sites in the world offering
travel savings on everything from air, hotel, cruises, car rental,
package deals, spa vacations, group trip, golf tee times, show
tickets, amusement parks I can't name all the ways to save using YTB.
If you are interested in starting a home based biz in travel you can
do so through YTB
BUT you don't have too!!!!!
If your over paying for the high cost of travel I urge you to give
me a call.
If your in NYC and would like to come to a Travel party to learn
more about YTB give me a shout. If your not in NYC and would like to
have a Travel party to inform you and others about YTB I can have a
Rep come to you at no cost and no obligation it would just be an
information session. Forward this email if you like and check out
the site www.mntravel.biz.

JOINING YTB ALLOWS YOU TO TRAVEL AS A TRAVEL PROFESSIONAL.
YTB DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO SELL ANYTHING EVER !!!!!!!
YTB IS NOT A PYRAMID!
ONE TIME ONLY MEMBERSHIP FEE. ONE MEMBERSHIP PROVIDES TWO ID CARDS
AND COVERS TWO PEOPLE.

Wishing you happy and safe travel! Nyesha

I am interested in going to the Summit in Vail, CO but there appears

it and how? How much does it cost? What are the deadlines for
payment?

Please provide some information about the SUMMIT if you can.

Thanks!

Wayne

Check out the Ziptrek link.  Black Diamond Dusters went to Whistler
this past summer and you talkin about a RUSH!!!  To dangle upside-down

secure group rates if there is enough interest.
