"... but only for those who seek it." That`s a quote from Ayn Rand, and I think it can be applied quite literally to this blog. Only those readers who truly seek new entries, or rather stumble upon them via Twitter, facebook, or the Portillo website will ever see this blog... and all the wonderful things (and truth) that it contains. So for those who seek, I shall provide! Here`s a crazy fact, all you truth-seeking ski bums:
When Portillo opened its doors in 1949, it was South America`s first hotel and ski resort.
History is on our side, so no matter how many other centros de ski may try and compete, remember: Ski Portillo is the original. Truth. Don`t believe me? Check out these vintage photos of old timers shredding las pistas más viejas en Chile!
