Show Us Your Inner Model
 
Do you think you have what it takes to be Banff’s Next Top Model?  Every year at the Toronto Ski, Snowboard & Travel Show, Ski Banff Lake Louise Sunshine asks snow lovers to show they’ve got what it takes, for the chance to win a luxury trip for two to Banff-Lake Louise.  In this model search skiers and borders are welcome to pose and have their photo taken in front of a ‘green screen’, later to be superimposed against a shot of Banff-Lake Louise’s snow covered mountains.  Real models need not apply, Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine believes that beauty is someone who loves to ski or board, lives to have fun and knows there are no friends on powder days.
 
The winners of Banff’s Next Top Model are fun loving, enthusiastic snow seekers, that aren’t afraid of the camera. Now in its fourth year, the competition has proven highly successful and sought after, with hundreds entering each year.  Last years winners Allison, Ava and Heather took rock n’ roll to a new level with their winning picture making them Banff’s Next Top Model’s.  Their enthusiasm and love of snowboarding won them a girls trip of a lifetime.
 
Do You Have What It Takes?
 
If you are thinking you might have what it takes to be Banff’s next top model, we need to see you at the Toronto Ski, Snowboard and Travel Show Oct 13-16^th 2011 at the Better Living Centre at Exhibition place, booths 310 & 313. Banff-Lake Louise is world famous for fantastic, dry snow, its varied terrain and, of course, its stunning beauty, and we are looking for someone to represent that” says Dan Markham Director of Marketing and Sales at Ski Banff Lake Louise Sunshine.  Don’t forget to check www.skibig3.com at the end of each day to check out your competition as all photos will be posted online!  In addition to being photographed, attendees will have the chance to get the best show specials on vacation packages and more chances to win great prizes.
 
3 Ski Resorts One National Park
 
The models will visit Banff Lake Louise in celebrity style on a film shoot as they experience all three resorts that sit in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff National Park.  Our three resorts offer almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain for skiers and boarders of all skill levels – from gentle groomed runs to some of the world’s most extreme in-bounds challenges, all on one convenient, tri-area lift ticket.  The unique mountain location guarantees our models enjoy the dry, light snow that the Alberta resorts are famous for – and plenty of it.  Stunning mountain backdrops, a snow season from early November to mid-May, lack of lift lines and friendly local hospitality also help make Banff-Lake Louise the perfect vacation destination vacation and host to our winning models.
