Personal highlights

  1. Ourika: small mountain village with some hotels along the way to the ski resort
  2. Oukaimeden: the largest Ski Resort on the African continent (missed by an inch)
  3. Weather: having the coldest day with loads of rain in the Atlas Mountains is not nice
  4. Freezing: sleeping in a very cold room, having only a light blanket and a fan heater
  5. Journey: having a bad night and then turning around instead of going for a Ski ride
