I am interested in spending my winter vacation on High Atlas Mountain this year and would like to hear how big the snow in the High Atlas is? I mean I know the Atlas is a mountain with pretty much high peaks but my friends keep telling me there is no snow good enough for winter sports. So what do you think!

Well there is nothing to think that much –just look at its height and it is all clear that the snow back there in the High Atlas is big enough for skiing or whatever else I mean some of its peaks are higher than 4000 m so it is very logical to have enough snow there of course during the winter time. I don't know where have you planned to stay but I was once staying at Marrakech during winter and from here one of High Atlas peaks is visible –Jbel Toubkal higher than 4000 m and I assure you there was snow more than enough
