Overview
$25 Silver Hologram Coin - Freestyle Skiing (2008)

7th coin in this historic & unique 15-coin hologram series

Freestyle skiing began in the 1960's when social change & freedom of expression led to new & exciting skiing techniques. Originally a mix of alpine skiing & acrobatics, the first competition was held in New Hampshire in 1966. The sport became an Olympic medal event in 1992 in Albertville, and only two years later in Lillehammer, Canadians won gold in moguls, and silver & bronze medals at the first aerials event.
