Ski Insurance Policies falling short of requirements


Many readers might (or might not) be so surprised to hear that skiing is often covered on their summer holiday travel insurance policies! It is also common to find skiing covered on home insurance and other deals that may have come with ones bank account or annual policy

Nevertheless some policies are often lacking in the correct department, without all the eventual scenarios covered for. Mark Mason, Senior Manager from Insure and Go warns that skiers without adequate cover this season "could be hit in the pocket if they suffer an injury, as they may have to pay all costs themselves".

Our advice is to read the small print and look out for areas of cover such as Heli rescue, repatriation, cancellation and Off-pistecover. Even if you do not intend to ski off piste - you can be amazed at what a rescue service might deem as "Off Piste" if there are hefty charges involved. And of course - always ski Off Piste with a guide!
