The stone piste is awful!
Almost all the snow that falls in Morocco disappears through sublimation, i.e. goes from solid to water vapour without passing through the liquid state.
I don't think the Lak has had water from the rivers in many decades as most of the water is extracted for irrigation much higher up. When I was near M'hamid a few months back they were building a small dam to capture any last dribbles.
So it's rain/hail only. No way to predict conditions so many weeks ahead but it's been lovely and dry recently.
There's definitely softer sections and some more hard packed. The line of four 'tea stops' stretching WSW from N29 56 53.8 W6 21 58.4 are on the hard section. See satellite image. Once you get to about N29 50 23.6 W6 37 49.6 you could head south to about N29 44 45.5 W6 35 22.9 and then west to Tata.
