Travel insurance cover for Skiing

World Nomads cover is focused on looking after you while you are away and this includes most snow related activities.

Skiing or Heli-skiing

Piste, off-piste and cross-country skiing are covered providing you don't put yourself in serious danger. Your ski equipment (skis, boots etc) is covered while in transit or in your locked room. You may even use a helicopter to get you to a point as a passenger but you must disembark the helicopter on the ground. You can't commence skiing from the helicopter (Doh!)
