Ski season is usually four months from early December to late March depending on the weather with the slope open from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the night slope from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Infrastructure

Shemshak is conveniently situated just about 55 minutes drive from Tehran, 10 km from middle-slope parking of Dizin and 5 km from Darband-Sar ski resort. Two of the most popular residential complexes in Shemshak are the one built by ASP before the revolution and the Sepahan residence complex finished in the end of 2012 in front of the Gazoil piste. There are two hotels and four restaurants and a coffee-house.
