According to a recent report by the Association of British Insurers (ABI), thousands of British skiers hitting the slopes this winter ski season are "unwittingly risking mountainous medical bills".
According to the ABI, many people ski abroad without any travel insurance protection. In addition there is an over-reliance on the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which does not pay for private medical treatment or mountain rescue, all of which could cost thousands of pounds..
Other reasons are reported to be the consumption of too much alcohol or inexperience.
In a press release from the ABI, Nick Kirwan, the ABI’s Assistant Director of Health and Protection, stressed: “Skiing is exhilarating but can also be dangerous, so it is alarming that nearly a third of people planning winter sports holidays do not intend to take out travel insurance. Skiing injuries can result in financially crippling medical bills, so ensuring that you have travel insurance that covers your ski activities is essential before you set of for the slopes.”
