According to the Ski Club of Great Britain, more than 1.25 million people from
the UK are expected to go skiing this year. It’s clearly become big business, but the cost of skiing accidents can be
high because they often involve serious leg injuries that require prolonged medical treatment. While the EHIC does provide
medical cover in popular European ski destinations such as Austria and France, it won’t pay for getting you to the hospital.
So if you’re airlifted off piste with a broken arm or leg due to being injured by another skiier, you’ll need
travel insurance to cover the cost. For skiing trips that are not covered by the EHIC – Chile, New Zealand, Bulgaria,
Canada or Japan, for example – travel health insurance is even more vital.
