We include cover for ski and snowboard insurance with all of our policies automatically.
We cover you for skiing and snowboarding at a commercial ski field, provided you’re not trying to show-off too much by racing, or performing any acrobatics or stunts!
If you’re badly injured while skiing (or snowboarding) on a designated commercial ski field, and need to be evacuated off the snow slopes by stretcher, ambulance or helicopter to the nearest medical facility…we’ll cover the costs. If you need further medical evacuation back to Australia, we’ll bring you home too.
If you have an overseas comprehensive policy, we’ll cover you up to $5,000 with a maximum of $1,000 per item if your ski equipment is stolen or damaged due to an accident, such as a fire. Remember you must take care of your items at all times. We don’t cover forgetfulness or carelessness – so make sure your equipment is secured when it’s not in use – and don’t leave it on show in the car!
If you’re unexpectedly sick or injured so can’t use the ski field and lift passes or lessons you paid for in advance, we will reimburse you for the dates you weren’t able to use them.
If you have to cancel your holiday or move to another location because extreme and unexpected weather conditions cause the closure of the resort, slope and/or piste, we’ll reimburse you for either your unused non-refundable deposits, or the additional costs you incur to change your arrangements.
Other activities such as snowmobiling, ice skating, dog sledding and tobogganing are also covered, provided you are doing them with a commercial licensed operator, and you’re following all the safety guidelines. We don’t cover activities such as ice luging given the high risk nature of the activity – it is considered to be an extreme sport after all!
Remember any racing, or performing any acrobatics or stunts is not covered!
