Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

BMC annual insurance - heads up?

 Poster: A snowHead

Just got my British Mountaineering Council magazine, and there's an advertisement for "annual European Alpine and Ski cover up to age 69" for £142, special offer 25% discount rate, supposedly, for purchases between now and 31 July. I don't know anything about the type or quality of cover, but maybe worth a look for some? Membership isn't that expensive.

@Grizzler, think I pay £35 a year membership, so if only joining for the insurance then it is in reality £177.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Membership of the Austrian Alpine Club (there is a British section) includes rescue and repatriation insurance see http://aacuk.org.uk/p-mountain-rescue-search-insurance . This is not comprehensive travel insurance but it does cover things like helicopter rescue whether on or off piste. Theoretically this and an EHIC card should cover most eventualities (but not theft of skis etc) but given that many clinics in ski resorts are private only it is probably sensible to take ski insurance too.

@Grizzler, I have BMC cover. To me it offered the best cover for what I wanted to do during both the summer and winter.

@munich_irish, Yup, think it is £47 per year and covers all the important stuff apart from rescue in the Arctic, Antarctic and above 6000 metres. I've been a member for many years now. Also gets you cheaper rates at many mountain huts.

BMC cover is pretty good, last time I used them it was for a winter climbing trip in Canada, but these days I'd be happier sticking with the AAC unless I was in the USA where extra medical insurance may be required.

What's the scope of the medical cover in the AAC policy ? I see from the testimonials there must be some.
