Since the world's first alpine ski championships in 1931, FIS has unequivocally been one of the most important organizations in skiing. With the goal of keeping the competitive spirit of winter sports alive worldwide, the biennial World Alpine Ski Championships has a different setting every year. In 1989, Colorado's own Vail was the host, and it would be the first of several more occasions Vail would host FIS. Grab this original 1989 pin to own an interesting bit of Vail history and ski history. The pin's outlining and text are a beautiful Gold, but due to the photography, the image only vaguely shows this. Size 1 x 3/4 inches.
