In February of 2010 Unofficial traveled from Chamonix, France to Marrakech, Morocco to chase down a lead on one of the only privet helicopters in North Africa. After weeks of emails and phone calls, we got in touch with a French guy named Eddy who led us to the only privet helicopter company in Morocco. The helicopter company submitted all the paperwork with the government to legally fly in Moroccan airspace and ordered a basket from Italy to hold our skis. The majority of people in North Africa have never been skiing and many did not even know it was possible. The High Atlas mountains of Morocco are now the only place in Africa with truly skiable terrain.
