Don't know anything about insurance, but was wondering how that injury is now. Good to hear it hasn't put you off.

IceGhost Most of the companies mentioned in this thread so far, are UK businesses, and will only accept you if you are UK resident. Always check the very small print :wink:

I have my seasons insurance the the BMC (British Mountaineering Club). Recommended to be by many people, so i have gone with them.

Had a claim on my policy last season and wasn't desperately impressed.

For peace of mind and a good track record, I suggest checking out Snowcard. They are a skiing and activity specialist insurer, and have policies that can be tailored to specific needs.

Try endsleigh!! Really good cover nad heard no complaints about claiming. Don't know about price though...

Hi,
When in France we allways buy Carte Neige
2.60 euros a day which is stamped on your lift pass
the pisteurs look at and you are taken care of.It does not take care of everything but gets you off the mountain piste or off piste' which if you are cold and broken is what you want.

:D as far as insurance goes for price there are still some people around who chance not having an accident and dont buy.But this is foolhardy my friend dave broke his leg just outside the first stage cable car station on the Valluga in St.Anton about ten years ago,hed his boots unclipped and as he was walking from the station slipped and broke his leg in the middle of his shin,luckily he had insurance as to get the helicopter off the ground at Landeck near innsbruck cost £4000 and then cost £600 per minute it was in the air for the the 15 minute flight to the top of the Valluga (miracle piece of flying by the pilot) and back.He was in the hospital for 2 weeks before they would let him go,with the operation costs,helivac costs and the air ambulance back to the uk the total cost was in the region of £35,000 so paying between £15 - £30 for a single trip or £60 -£80 for a yearly insurance policy is small potatoes.
