Thinking of going without travel insurance on a winter sports break? You may want to think again.People who thoroughly enjoyed playing around in the white stuff that covered much of Britain earlier this month may have been encouraged to try their hand at a winter sports holiday.
Indeed, the Ski Club of Great Britain told the Guardian that thousands of people will jet off to places like the Alps in the coming weeks - but many of them could risk being left seriously out of pocket by not taking out travel insurance cover.
In fact, as many as half of the daredevils heading out to take to the pistes may not bother with travel insurance at all, despite the fact that accidents can be costly.
Recent reports in the Telegraph suggested that it could cost as much as £10,000 to be airlifted off a mountain should the unthinkable happen, an amount that we suspect most people could not afford.
The Ski Club advised anyone thinking of trying winter sports - including things like tobogganing - to make sure they take out adequate cover beforehand.
If you want complete peace of mind on the piste, it's well worth making sure you are all covered before you go so your holiday can be as relaxing as you want it to be.
Our very own Martin Rothwell also warned holidaymakers to check the small print before taking out any policies - some will not cover you if you plan to pursue adventurous activities, which will not be much use on a skiing trip!
