Hi,

Someone recomended a good ski insurer to me last year but I forgot it

Will be skiing in France for one week, I am just looking for a good all

Snowcard... www.snowcard.co.uk

Way better cover and less excess that Dogtag. We've also used their
services "in anger" so to speak after a skiing accident and they were
just excellent at both the emergency assistance and also paying out !

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them...

We have annual multi-trip cover from http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/
Always seem about the most reasonable and cover off-piste too.

Nice to know, 'cos I usually use them.

Another nice thing about their policy is that they explicitly _don't_
exclude theft of skis left unattended outside a mountain restaraunt.
Erm, that's a double negative, but you see what I mean.
