It only really talks about kids though doesn't it - not very controversial these days as lots of ski areas and ski schools take a similar attitude

I would like to see evidence of the average being £1,000.00 if in Europe they only pay the first 10% with the Heath card picking up the rest. What percentage of ski claims require airlifts etc?

yeah agreed, but just the opening line was "Make helmets mandatory" followed by "Helmets are crucial when skiing, especially for children" makes me wonder whats in their policy for adults.
@musher, haha!!

Not a great start:

We have listed our Top 5 resorts in Europe:
1. Chamonix, France: Best for Lift-Accessed Slopes
2. La Grave, France: Best for Ski Mountaineering
|
Clearly they've never been to La Grave....I've never ever used a skin in La Grave itself...the adventurous skiing is pretty much all accessible with downhill only. OK, a fair few rappels but that's not really "ski mountaineering"

Having read the following statement
| Quote: |
Although more than half of people say that they or family members have had an accident or near miss on the slopes, 47% admit that they never or only sometimes bother with winter sports insurance.

I conclude that Aviva don't know what they are talking about so I have treat the rest of the article as a waste of web server space and wish I never bothered with it.

I posted it for a laugh. It's certainly not an article to be taken seriously.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

It's fine us saying that, but plenty of people are likely to read that and take it verbatim. With that in mind its worrying.
Anybody able to contact Aviva?

Where would you start. Maybe one for the SCGB to take up

You know it makes sense.

I know that it isn't relevant to this thread directly, but I think that Aviva are ace. I've been insured with them with my works van for years, good price. Spent the last three days trawling the web for insurance quotes for my younger daughter's first car. Everyone else were quoting £1150 plus.....Aviva linked it to my existing policy this afternoon and quoted £674. Result! (This will accrue NCB for her and as my policy runs out this autumn her renewal this autumn will include one year's NCB!)
