It's snow problem!

I have only just got back to Marrakech after 3 day hike with guide in mountains - was a bit hairy as they don't often do these hikes in winter - and had to cross mountain pass at 3000m - quite alot of snow and ice - and weather started to get a bit nasty - guide seemed to be getting a bit agitated as I wasn't as quick as him of course - what does he expect - he does it for a living - I run up and down a few stairs now and again but rarely in a blizzard!
He kept saying " soufflè , soufflè Ok" - well I thought - what are you on about you silly Berber - we've only just had breakfast ( superb crepes with honey) why should I want to eat a soufflè - anyway turns out he was enquiring as to whether I was breathing OK - well of course I wasn't - we were 2500m up struggling through snow, icy rocks, freezing wind .
But apparently altitude sickness can be a problem - plus of course the cold - it was bitter - must have been minus 10 ish and on top of the pass the wind was extreme - completely iced my glasses up - had to take them off as couldn't see a thing - anyway fortunately I am at the peak of fitness - due to my strict regime of healthy eating, regular exercise and abstinence of alcohol - so managed to keep breathing which I tend to find generally prolongs life, and I never actually felt cold at all. I had invested in a good pair of thermal gloves which were a godsend plus the key of course, apart from communication is layers, you must have plenty of layers - anyway the old Berber eventually dragged me over the top of the pass and then we descended pretty quickly - I was pretty knackered when we got to the gite - fairly basic accommodation but superb local food - the best tajine you will ever have- and plenty of constant hot tea - toilet left alot to be desired - but that's another story.
Anyway overall it was a good experience - superb scenery - and we passed through lots of mountain villages where life is very basic - now I am back to some sort of civilisation - checked Spurs website for update - lucky old Arsenal , also listened to world service this afternoon for FA cup commentary and news (didn't hear any news about liverpool!)- have booked a three day tour starting 7am tomorrow - exploring an area I haven't seen and heading for desert for short camel trip and overnight in Bedouin tent! ( Merzouga - south east of country )
Have also checked the BA website and unfortunately my flight is ok at present - have found another reasonable hotel here for 6 quid room only ( fleas extra)- well situated - might visit the Hammam tonight for good soak in hot bath.
It's tajine for supper ( no suprise there then)
