Many people often neglect to purchase the correct travel insurance when they go skiing, but in reality, whether you are skiing in New Zealand or heading overseas, travel insurance is essential. Did you know you can pay as much as $15,000 for emergency helicopter rescue within New Zealand? Or that if you happen to have an ski or boarding accident in Canada you could be facing hospital bills of around $50,000? The cost of ski insurance is so cheap in comparison, so why would you risk it?

1Cover has a range of policies to suit skiers and boarders to the level of cover that you require. All of our policies automatically cover unlimited medical and hospital expenses, but our Ski Plus policy covers a range of additional benefits specifically for your skiing holiday. We cover both recreational as well as professional skiers and boarders.

1Cover's Ski Plus policy covers everything that the Plan A Comprehensive cover does, as well as additional benefits:

1. If you have an accident on the slopes we will cover your emergency evacuation to the nearest hospital, including helicopter rescue both overseas and in New Zealand.
2. If your snow skiing equipment is accidentally lost, stolen or broken, then we will cover the cost of hiring Snow Skiing Equipment.
3. Following the loss or theft of your ski pass, or if you are unable to ski because of an accident or illness, we will cover the value of any unesed ski pass, ski hire or tuition fees.
4. If you have pre-booked skiing at a particular resort and are unable to ski there, we will cover travel to an alternative resort or purchase of additional ski passes.
5. If you are forced to cancel your trip because of bad weather or an avalanche, we will cover your out-of-pocket expenses.
