    Great video Mike! I wonder what time of year they were in Iraq because when I went there, I remember seeing lots of snow up on peaks when I visited the town of Amadiyah outside of Dohuk. Too bad the video just focusses on the skiing and not the wonderful friendliness and hospitality of the Kurdish people.
