  •  Am I Covered For Heliskiing?
  • The Winter Sports Pack covers claims that may arise from amateur heliskiing activities that do not involve any form of racing, acrobatics, jumping, aerial, stunting or freestyle. Terms and conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to the PDS for further information.

    You must select the Winter Sports Pack add-on when booking your policy to be covered for any winter sports activities. 

  • Do Your Policies Provide Cover For Backcountry?

  • Am I Covered For Rental Ski Equipment Hire Excess?
  • Yes! When you are booking your policy simply select the Winter Sports Pack add-on and you will enjoy cover for Rental Ski Equipment Hire Excess. Terms and conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to the PDS for further information.

  • A double excess applies for all claims under sections Overseas Medical & Hospital Expenses, Additional Accommodation & Travel Expenses, and Cancellation Fees & Lost Deposits if you purchase this option and your claim arises directly from you participating in winter sports activities. You cannot pay to remove this excess. 

  • Is There Anything The Winter Sports Pack Does Not Cover?
  • The Winter Sports Pack does not provide cover for claims under Permanent Disability or Personal Liability that arise from you participating in winter sports activities.
