I'm looking for recommendations for decent travel insurance policy that covers skiing. I'm looking for value and quality, not necessarily the cheapest price. I got my fingers burned a few years ago when my skis were stolen and I got booger all back after wear and tear and excess. I guess with the chance of UK snow and drone carnage too, a policy that pays out properly if travel goes all wrong would be good too.

I'm a 95% piste skier, with the occasional play in powder between pistes, but nothing too full on. It would be good if it covered other slightly adventurous activities that I might do abroad too, sailing, cycling, that kind of thing.

Any recommendations please people?

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice guys...I've got two trips to Austria this year (first time, it's usually France or Switzerland) but I'll certainly look into those suggestions.

Cheers guys...I went with Snowcard who I'd used years ago. It's definitely a case of "read the small print"...I also do quite a bit of yachting and Snowcard was the only policy that was sensibly worded for cross-channel or longer trips away from the coastline.
I quite liked the "sliders" so you can choose the most appropriate level of cover for skis etc. Now I just hope I don't get to find out how good they are at paying out!
