Their insurance will work for you and it was the best option. Better the devil you know?
How do you handle the new restriction of 17 days skiing per season?

You can find the best ski insurance in Britain with snowcard.co.uk. Go no further, your search finishes here!

I used to be a Snowcard client. They were very quick to withdraw my cover when I was getting an MRI scan, and slow to reinstate cover after the all clear. In their haste they never even asked which knee. Their behaviour was what I'd expect from a Budget insurer, not a Premium product seller.

There is a thread elsewhere about this. I recommended Columbus insurance, they paid 10k out for me for a claim. But then there is small print that some people on here are not comfortable with

Iceman, for me it was the fact that they offer no search and rescue for skiers. The thread is here with the results of your enquries:
It's down to the buyer to be aware of any Policy shortfalls and read the really small print!
Any skiing outside piste edge markers is off piste and you will not be insured.

Ok, I spoke to Columbus tonight to confirm a few things:-
1. No cover outside resort boundaries - I queried what if I was on a bus outside the resort, got off, slipped broke my leg. Am I covered? They said that as long as I was not skiing I would be covered. So it looks like I will have to wobble around on my boots!
2. No cover for search & rescue - If off piste they will cover you for the repatriation to a hospital if they know where you are. If you are reported missing and there has to be a full blown S&R I will not be covered for that. That does not bother me as I dont go off piste - I have enough trouble on piste!
3. An avalanche(or similar) hits a pisted area and I need too be rescued or again am reported missing I will be covered as it is on piste.
Off piste skiing is classed as any area that is outside the markers of the run. I am guessing that if I ski round posts on the run I would be ok, but if I go in a big off piste bit between runs I would not be covered.
