TORONTO — Canadian freestyle skiers Chloe, Justine and Maxime Dufour-Lapointe are moving from the slopes to show biz with cameo roles in the Quebec French-language version of Disney’s “Planes: Fire & Rescue.”

The sisters made a splash at the recent Sochi Olympics, where Justine won gold and Chloe took silver.

Maxime has been a regular competitor on the circuit since 2008.

Justine voices a bulldozer character called Pinecone while Maxime plays a dispatcher and Chloe takes on the role of a bar maiden.

The movie is about a famous air racer who assumes a new career as an aerial firefighter.

It opens in 3D on July 18.
