Ski Club Remind Skiers to Take Out Insurance
15-12-08
The Ski Club of Great Britain has warned skiers and snowboarders to ensure they have travel insurance before going on any snow sports holidays this season. 34 per cent of respondents to a poll on the Ski Club’s website revealed that they did not have insurance at all or their policy only covered them for the basic.
Alyn Morgan, Information Manager at the Ski Club of Great Britain, said, ‘People who are unlucky enough to have an accident on the slopes can often get caught out by either forgetting to take out insurance, thinking they can risk going away without it or not taking out adequate cover. The key is to read the small print and make sure your policy covers you for all the activities you will be taking part in.” said Alyn Morgan, Information Manager at the Ski Club of Great Britain.’
Some of the cheapest snow sport insurance policies don’t cover off-piste skiing, snowpark activity, snowmobiling, dog sledding, tobogganing or ski touring, whilst some don’t even cover snowboarding. Insurance is particularly worthwhile when you consider the huge costs involved in receiving treatment abroad, with air ambulances costing up to £10,000 in Europe and £30,000 in North America before any treatment has been administered.
