Winter Sports Travel Insurance

[Conrad]

Hi - anyone on here go skiing/snowboarding?

I'm off to live in Whistler (Canada) for 6 months next week and need some insurance. Anyone got any recomendations?

The cheapest I've got so far is £261!! seems a lot but I've never been anywhere like this before

Cheers Ian - Whistler sounds class, I'm really looking forward to it.

I've never even seen a Snowboard let alone used one so will be interesting. :d

Got a few mates living out there already. My only concern is that according to them it's impossible to pull! There's like 10 blokes to every woman. :(

Oh, thanks for the link mate. I have already tried that site earlier but when I tick the Winter Sports box when selcecting insurance I get the following message:

'There are currently no policies that match your criteria. We are currently updating our records to include more types of policy'

Have you used this site before to book insurance?

[Ian R]

Nope I got my insurance free through my bank account. It may be worth trying Tesco as they do annual policies off the shelf in stores

Here you go mate http://www.tescofinance.com/personal/finance/insurance/travelins/quote.jsp

Cheers dude, I've found one now for £101.

The one with Tesco was spot on but when I went to book it I noticed it was for multi-trips and not a continuous one. Rang Tesco and they confirmed it wasn't suitable. Thanks anyway.

Whistler here I come! :p :d ;)
