Snow, snow and more snow, get your ski insurance and hit the slopes!

05/01/2012

Snow conditions across Europe are looking great this season; perfect if you are keen skier or snowboarder looking forward to hitting the slopes. It seems like it has snowed almost every day since early December and with more snow forecast in the coming days, it looks set to be a great ski season. There is already over 2 metres of snow on the upper slopes of many resorts and reports of great skiing in powder conditions.

Of course with so much snow around there could be a danger of avalanches so if you are about to head off on a ski trip be sure to follow local guidance carefully, particularly if you are planning to ski off-piste.

Ski insurance is vital to ski trip

If you are heading off on a ski trip, ski insurance is as vital to your trip as skis, boots and a warm jacket. It is an unfortunate fact that skiing is a more risky past time than lying on a beach, therefore you need to ensure that your travel insurance provides cover for medical treatment as a result of an accident whilst skiing.

Ski insurance from insurewithease.com extends the medical section of your travel insurance policy to cover skiing and snowboarding. It also provides cover for loss, theft or damage to your ski equipment, unused ski lessons and ski hire, piste closure and avalanche closure.

If you are a real ski enthusiast you may also want to consider our new option for Winter Sports with Increased Equipment Cover. This increases your travel insurance cover for your ski equipment to £2000, with a single article limit of £1000 – ideal of you have the latest ski equipment.
