This cover varies by insurer so do check that the cover included will be sufficient as some policies contain exclusions.

Off piste skiing on unmarked or ungroomed pistes or slopes is included on some of our policies as long as you do not ski alone and adhere to local ski safety and ski patrol guidelines and warnings. If the resort stipulates that skiing off piste must be with a ski guide or instructor, failure to adhere to this will exclude this cover.
