Was out over new year's, couple o days in Ess (was the only person surfing on NYD) and also went snowboarding in Oukamaiden as a day trip. Not your normal alpine Experience, but got some fresh lines under the chairlift. The taxi drive was worth it alone, stunning scenery.
Don't bother eating in any of the expensive retaurants in the medina, exactly the same (unimaginative) food as the cheap restaurants, except with expensive wine and annoying belly dancers. (sadly the missus is a vego which precluded us from eating at any of the ace looking French places in the New town -still haven't had pigeon).
However after a week of cous-cous and tagine found a great vegie cafe down one of the side streets off the Djna el Fnar, Rue Riad Zitoun el Kedim. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293734-d1187519-Reviews-Earth_Cafe-Marrakech.html Was a welcome break.
Avacado smoothie is actually very good and the ice cream place opposite Koutibia Mosque is almost comparable with Rome's.
Bring a bottle of duty free with you...if not you'll find yourself in Hotel Grand Tazi, which is ace.
