Ski Insurance

Ski insurance
Ski insurance is an essential part of any winter skiing holiday, whether you are heading off just for a couple of days, or planning an extensive two week trip. Just as regular travel insurance is highly recommended for any kind of holiday, ski insurance is a must for anyone wishing to partake in any kind of activities on the slopes, whatever age, level, ability (and attitude). Because of the risks involved and the possibility of injuries, ski insurance gives travellers peace of mind, both before and during their winter holiday, making for a much more relaxing and stress-free time away.

Ski insurance - Peace of mind for your next winter skiing holiday
As well as helping you find the perfect skiing holiday, directline-skiing.co.uk can assist in finding just the right insurance coverage for you and your party this season. For skiers and snowboarders, there is a multitude of ski insurance policies out there, offering a choice of differing levels of cover. Those looking to take just one annual skiing holiday should look at the single trip ski insurance policy, which covers one holiday (of less than a certain length) and provides all the cover needed for that one specific trip. Skiers planning to take more than one holiday during the year are advised to look at the multi-trip policy, which generally works out to be a much cheaper option than insuring each trip separately. The cost of ski insurance depends on the amount of coverage, and the destination, with policies covering North American and Canadian ski trips proving to be more expensive than those covering resorts in Europe.

The most important items covered on a ski insurance policy include medical emergencies, personal accident and liability, and repatriation, with other features to look for being cancellation or curtailment, missed departure and legal advice and expenses. Personal belongings are generally covered on a ski insurance policy, as are personal and rental ski equipment, ski packs, piste closure and baggage. Travellers should also look at obtaining an EHIC (the updated version of the E111), a free European Health Insurance Card, available to all UK residents, which covers certain emergency medical procedures in participating European countries, and can be used to complement a ski insurance policy (be advised, though, that an EHIC cannot take the place of ski insurance).
