Snowbird, UT – Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort is attracting point of view (POV) video footage from around the world as contestants enter the ski area’s Local Hero POV video contest on its Facebook page for a chance to win a ski or snowboard trip to Utah.

“This contest is a great way for people who love to ski and ride to share their passion for the mountains with thousands of like-minded enthusiasts,” said Dave Fields, Snowbird Vice President of Resort Operations. “The lucky two who win will have a trip of a lifetime to show for their creativity and passion.”

Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, The North Face, Powder magazine, Snowboarder magazine and Wasatch Powderbird Guides have teamed up to sponsor this ultimate POV video challenge.

There will be two categories, ski and snowboard. The Grand Prize winner in each category will receive a trip for two to Snowbird  for five days of skiing or riding, four nights of lodging at The Cliff Lodge, access to an early Tram ride one morning, a day of helicopter skiing for one with Wasatch Powderbird Guides, a $500 gift card for one from The North Face, and two free subscriptions to Powder magazine and Snowboarder magazine.
