In Iran and central Alborz Mountains there is ideal snow for ski touring usually from end of November till mid-May. According to weather conditions the duration of this season can be longer. But ice climbing season is a bit shorter. We have our ice falls in good quality of ice usually from middle of December till beginning of March. So it would be better to plan this trip in this period of time or you can have trekking as alternative for ice climbing in the last two days.
About ski gears, it is possible for us to provide skis, ski boots, skin and helmet here for you but you will be more suitable to bring your own gears. For the ice climbing gears also we can provide you ice axe, ice screws, technical crampon that you can fit it with your boot, rope, quick draws and harness and all these equipment are standard and up to date.
