Protection for Skiers, Snowboarders & Cold-Weather Adventurers

From the slopes of Aspen and Whistler to the powder fields of Japan and the Alps, Smarter Travel Insurance provides comprehensive protection for travelers pursuing winter sports around the world.

Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, or just enjoying a mountain holiday, our plans keep you protected against trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and weather-related disruptions — so you can focus on the adventure, not the risk.

Why You Need Winter Sports Travel Insurance

Winter sports take place in environments where weather, altitude, and terrain create higher travel risks.

Flight delays, resort closures, or injuries on the slopes can quickly derail your plans.
Smarter Travel Insurance offers peace of mind with cover for cancellations, medical costs, and emergency evacuation from remote or mountain locations.

Winter Sports travel insurance can provide:

  • Refunds for canceled or postponed events

  • Coverage for baggage, ski equipment, and gear

  • Medical and evacuation protection for mountain locations

  • Trip delay and missed-activity coverage

  • Weather-related cancellation and closure coverage

  • Group, family, and corporate plan options

  • Optional CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) upgrades

  • 24/7 emergency and assistance support worldwide

Key Benefits of Winter Sports Coverage

Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or exploring alpine trails, Smarter Travel Insurance ensures you’re covered for more than just the basics. Our winter sports policies are built to protect both recreational and serious adventurers with flexible, high-limit coverage designed for cold-weather environments.

Coverage features vary by provider, but most plans offer the following:

Emergency Medical & Evacuation

Comprehensive coverage for on-mountain injuries, fractures, or altitude-related illness including medical evacuation and hospital treatment from ski resorts or remote alpine areas.

Trip Cancellation & Interruption

Reimbursement for pre-paid flights, accommodation, or lift passes if your trip is cancelled or cut short due to illness, injury, weather closures, or other covered reasons.

Weather & Resort Closure Protection

Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Equipment

Covers skis, snowboards, boots, helmets, and other essential winter gear against loss, theft, or damage whether checked in or carried with you.

Baggage & Personal Effects

Protection for your belongings during travel, including winter clothing, electronics, and essential accessories for your trip.

Family & Group Flexibility

Bundle your coverage for families, couples, or ski groups with shared benefits and lower total costs ideal for group bookings and resort packages.

24/7 Worldwide Assistance

Access to multilingual support teams who can help coordinate medical care, reschedule travel, or locate lost gear anywhere in the world.

CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) Upgrade

Optional CFAR coverage allows you to cancel your trip for any reason not otherwise covered providing up to 75% reimbursement of non-refundable costs.
