Ski Insurance for Winter Sports

Whatever else you do, ski insurance is an absolute must for your holiday! Whether you are skiing or snowboarding, winter holidays are known for bringing out the 'daredevil' and as a result whether it's icy or powder, the right cover is essential for all.

Fortunately ski insurance is not prohibitive, well not when you consider the alternative costs of going it alone! However, we all know from experience that it's best to get the best deal so you don't feel ripped off.

Why is Ski Insurance Important?

The main problem is that when skiing or snowboarding even a small innocent looking fall can break your arm or leg, where a much more dramatic fall has little or no effect - because your skis have long since come off.

We think your ski insurance should be booked whilst you're booking your holiday - otherwise there is a very real danger that you may forget - which will cost you thousands if anything goes wrong.

What Winter Travel Insurance is Available?

There are a number of options open to you - from individual through to family, multi trip to annual that includes say up to 30 days as standard. Check thoroughly that it covers your needs - off-piste is often not covered even with a guide. North America policies will be more expensive than Europe, extreme skiing another area where you will need to check very very carefully.

Just as a leveller - fixing a simple broken arm probably costs about £2k and the helicpoter ride off the mountain - upto £10k or more depending on the severity of your injuries. Therefore, as you can tell - the £75 is a very good spend of money under the circumstances.
