I've never bought insurance, at my usual mountain they have a 2 hour Money Back Gaurantee. What this means is, if you're not satisified with the snow conditions, you have 2 hours upon purchasing a ticket to return it. The only time i bought some sort of insurance was the first time i went up, when i had to board, boots, etc. so i had to rent, and get renters insurance. As for injury insurance.... im not so worried, death or injury isnt a worry in my life, i live by the edge, and im not afraid to get hurt... from past experiences, nothing will keep me down.

Ah not going to break into Guiness Book of records so never got any insurance for myself.

But i think we should have one !!! you never know what can happen.

exactly i had a friend who skied into a fence producing a nasty wound around his eye this was the result of a beginner skier colliding with him. you can never be sure what might happen even if you are a good skier

another factor would be if you wear a helmet.... helmetless is very unsafe, with a lot of 'newbies', getting taking down and smacking your head on a poll, person, tree, ice, etc. are common. I would never go without my helmet.... its my 'insurance'

I have insurance for injuries, etc.

What the heck is insurance for lack of snow? I have never heard of that one, maybe because I can look out my window and see if there is enough snow to ski ;-)

Insurance for lack of snow is for people who live in the UK etc and get package ski holidays to Europe. So you could spend a lot of money on the holiday and when you get there you might discover that there is no snow

OK, it makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Absence of snow .... the way most ski insurance companies cover this is by paying for you to ski @ alternative sites if the slopes you are heading to have been closed.
