SKI Insurance with BORN2SKI

Born2Ski have struck a deal with ski-insurance.co.uk, the UK specialists in providing the very finest in winter sports insurance, to bring you the best policies at the best prices.

Insurance is unfortunately one of these things that doesn't seem a necessity until it's too late. Once you've been a close witness to a bad accident and seen how mercenary each stage of the 'rescue and repair' mission can appear - from taking the casualty off the hill, into an ambulance, to a medical centre, to hospital, to paying for drugs and bandages separately - or, fallen victim to the loss of brand new skis during the first hot chocolate stop of their career will you really appreciate what a good package is worth.

In the Born2Ski office nowadays, we shop for a good annual package and that's it for the year: ski, surf, sail, romantic break, lads' lost weekend. A specialist policy which covers action and winter sports but which will pay up when you're on a cheap autumn last minute weekend to Nice, or when you do the late season long weekend in Chamonix, and something untoward happens, that's when it will really be most welcome.

We've experienced both sides of the coin, taken accident insurance only and lost our skis, and been able to claim on an annual policy when we've been on an unplanned holiday. Let our hard learned lesson be enough. Without seeming like the ultimate prophet of doom, our sports are increasingly litigious, and cover offering comprehensive specialist legal advice is, in our book, an essential.
