Andean Condor Sighting!





While Off Piste at Ski Portillo we were lucky enough to get a sighting of the rare Andean Condor! With a 10 foot wing span this condor is the largest flying bird in the world. The Andean Condor has been making a good recovery since being almost hunted to extinction and put on the Endangered Species List in 1973. This bird was huge! He looked like he might swoop down and pluck a skier off of the mountain!
