Snow sports cover: your essential guide to skiing and snowboarding protection

Planning a thrilling ski trip or snowboarding adventure? Snow sports cover is an optional upgrade to your travel insurance that provides specialised coverage for the unique risks of skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, providing cover for the unique risks of snow sports.

Who is eligible for Snow sports cover?

This add-on is available exclusively for those who have purchased the Comprehensive or Frequent Traveller plans.


How does Snow sports cover work?

When you add optional Snow sports cover to your policy, you'll receive the standard benefits of your chosen plan, plus additional coverage tailored to snow sports activities. This cover is detailed in your Certificate of Insurance.

Why Snow sports cover option?

Beyond the standard benefits of your chosen Everyday Travel Insurance plan (International and Domestic Comprehensive or Frequent Traveller), Snow sports cover option offers:

Ski lift pass & pre-paid activity protection

If unexpected illness or injury sidelines you, don't worry about losing money on non-refundable ski lift passes, equipment rentals, or pre-booked lessons. We've got you covered.

Ski run closure reimbursement

Winter weather can be unpredictable. If your dream ski resort closes for over 24 hours due to snow conditions or high winds, we may compensate you for the lost ski time. If you're booking a ski resort at 1,000 meters or higher during standard winter seasons, we offer cover for the lost ski time due to closures exceeding 24 hours caused by heavy snow or winds.

Gear replacement made easy

Mishaps happen. If your snow sports equipment is lost, delayed, or damaged, we may cover the cost of renting replacements, so you can get back on the slopes without missing a beat.

Subject to terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. Benefit limit amounts vary by level of cover. Above is a summary only. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement for full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that apply.

 

Important considerations:

Review the General exclusions section of your policy, as these may impact your optional Snow sports cover.

Each benefit has a maximum payout limit, which is detailed in your optional Snow sports cover option. These limits apply per adult traveller and are not increased for accompanying children.

Claiming under one benefit does not exclude you from claiming under another, as long as the claims are for different covered costs.

With Snow Sports cover, you can focus on enjoying your winter adventures knowing you're protected from unexpected setbacks.


Ready to add Snow sports cover option?

Don't leave your winter adventure to chance. If you're planning a ski or snowboard trip, consider adding optional Snow sports cover to your Travel Insurance policy for comprehensive protection.

Remember, this is just a summary. For a complete understanding of your benefits, limitations, and exclusions, please review the Product Disclosure Statement.
