Normally you don´t find words “Africa” and “snow” in a same sentence…However Scrapbook crew traveled all the way to Morocco to search for snow and exotic places to snowboard. That´s exactly what we found in Oukaimeden ski resort. It´s a small resort just a small drive away from heart of Morocco, Marrakesh. Thanks to our quide Amin Ben Larbin, we got a chance to get to know local culture, delicious Moroccon food and unique landscapes. It was spring conditions in the mountains with lots of sun. Oukaimeden offered whole variety of locations to film and snowboard. “Morocco. It was great! It was absolutely worth going. Snowboarding in Africa was better than I ever could have imagined!” said Antti-Juhani Piirainen after returning from this interesting trip.
