Our Best Adventure Travel Insurance Plans For Skiing
Why Snowboarding and Skiing Insurance?
Play Safer. Play Smarter.
Skiing is a fun sport for all ages that is good for both body and mind. For one thing, it is great exercise that keeps you looking and feeling young. Skiing increases aerobic capacity and muscle strength – things that normally decline with age. It burns calories, boosts your immune system, and improves your mood. Skiing also engages your core muscles and improves flexibility.
There are many wonderful skiing destinations all over the world and here are some of the most popular spots:

Tony and his wife, Angie, have enjoyed skiing vacations together all over the world ever since they first met. Although they found some of their most difficult challenges in Canada, their most memorable skiing vacations have been in Europe.
While skiing may not be considered one of the most dangerous adventure sports, accidents and illnesses do happen. The most common accidents involve physical injury. ACL injuries are the most common, making up about 16 – 17% of all skiing injuries. Head injuries make up 10 – 12% of the injuries, followed by skier’s thumb at 10% and a broken leg at 5%. There are other hazards as well, including altitude sickness, frostbite, hypothermia, snow immersion suffocation, avalanches and skiing off a cliff.
That’s why Tony came to Good Neighbor- to protect him and his wife in the event of a skiing accident or illness. Skiing insurance plans can protect you in the event of accident and illness. In addition to ensuring you have proper medical coverage, good plans offer medical evacuation and other specialized care that may be needed while you are skiing.
Tony has made sure to carry skiing insurance ever since one of their early vacations in Italy when Angie experienced a severe case of frostbite and hypothermia while skiing. Her condition required an extended hospital stay there and they were fortunate that Angie’s friend had persuaded them to buy some skiing insurance just prior to that vacation.
Angie made a full recovery from her illness and her medical care didn’t put a big dent in their pocketbook. Be like Tony and Angie and protect yourself with a skiing insurance plan today. Get started by selecting one of the featured plans below or by getting a quote now.
