Complete provisions and online enrollment at www.skierguard.com The policy is voided if you go in the park, pipe, race, train to race, and several other things that would void it for a large percentage of riders. And I didn't even get to the fine print! Mike T |

And I didn't even get to the fine print! Mike T I have to ask this, so bear with me. How exactly would they know if you went in the park or pipe? I can understand how to look up race scores and such to see if a person participated, but unless someone is following you all day, I can't imagine how they'd know. Perhaps, if your pass is for a resort (whatever) that has a park or pipe they would automatically assume that you participated in those and immediately void it anyways on that assumption. Obviously, I don't know for sure, but I really don't trust any insurance company... Rick |

I have to ask this, so bear with me. How exactly would they know if you
went in the park or pipe? I'd have to check back but I think they require a ski patrol report in order to file a claim. So if you hurt yourself in the park or pipe, guess what? Now, if you hurt yourself cruising the groomers, I can't see how they would know you;re in the pipe. But realistically, where do most snowboarding injuries happen these days? |

This has it's equivalent in race track days: there's a strange cluster of car accidents just outside race tracks where smashed cars have been pushed out onto the road to get back in the insurance cover zone. You can imagine the scene in the terrain park where someone with broken leg and blood running down his face drags himself through the trees to the nearest trail; and the words on his lips? "Don't call ski patrol, gotta save my pass".... Iain |

The bigger problem with the pass insurance part is the cost vs the
possible benefit. For a $350 season pass, the cost of insurance is $25. Then to recover anything, you have to be unable to ride for 30 days, plus you need a doctors letter stating that you will be unable to ride for the remainder of the season. And then, the amount you receive is pro-rated, so if you become disabled in Feb, you're may only get $100 back, if that. Then factor in all the paper work to try to get a small amount. Then you have the death benefit part, which is really stupid. If you need life insurance, then you need it regardless of how you die. Are your dependents supposed to be OK and not need the insurance if you died choking on a fish bone instead of in a sporting accident? IMO, this insurance is just a bad deal, no matter how you look at it. |
