Winter sports travel insurance is specifically designed to consider the higher risks associated with activities such as skiing, snowboarding, sledging, and ice skating. Typically, this cover is added as an extension to standard travel insurance policies, so that travellers are covered while participating in various snow and ice-related activities.
A winter sports travel insurance policy will cover all that you would be covered for on a standard policy, but takes into account rented or owned equipment, as well as events such as piste closure, severe weather, and lost ski passes. It's also important to consider that your insurance would cover you for emergency medical assistance, which often includes provisions for air ambulance services in the event of on-slope incidents.
