Christie's ski sale has around 300 international ski and winter sports posters, the majority of which date from the turn of the twentieth century to the 1950s.

According to organizers, money raised at the sale and auction will make a tremendous difference to the ski team’s individual athletes who will receive a much needed direct financial contribution towards their training and competition costs.

The sale also embraces the international sporting spirit as a selection of Olympic posters are introduced to the mix paying homage to the ultimate winter sporting experience.

British sport stars will be there including Damon Hill, Colin Jackson, Steve Redgrave and Clive Woodward.
