Mt Damavand in January

by japatta » Wed Oct 01, 2014 1:06 pm

Hej Guys,

I have some holidays in January and was thinking of going to Iran/ Damavand for some ski-mountaineering. However most people seem to go there in April. Snow conditions and weather are supposed to be worse in January.

However I am still wondering about it. Is it a no go in January or just more likely to miss the good weather window?
Anybody here who has some experience in mid winter (or just on Damavand in winter)?

And any suggestions on local companies, or do you recommend to organise everything there/on your own?
Any suggesttions for other ski- acclimatisation-tours in the area?

And I read everywhere Damavand "not being technically difficult" anybody who could provide some more details on this, as if the weather is bad+ bad snow+ more technically then expected it might be all a bit to much you see...

Thanks a lot,
B
