While most ski resorts in Iran are located in northern and western parts, the mostly dry and semi-dry provinces in the east are also home to one ski resort.
Shirbad Ski Resort, 70 kilometres west of Mashhad in northeastern Iran, is located at an altitude of 2,800 metres above the sea level. It was established in 2009.
According to a Farsi report by Khabar Online, it is the only ski resort in eastern parts of Iran, which are mostly dry or semi-dry.
Here are photos of the resort:
