Anyone help please, my policy expires end of Feb, when I'm out for another month, I spend about 6/8 weeks in Europe skiing but I'm 64 and I am finding it hard to get reasonable priced cover where can I find a reputable realistic insurer.

Insure and go buy two policies of 30 days around £200

Snowcard. I am 65 and have an annual policy, up to 60 days trips, including off-piste without a guide. It was £160 for the year, IIRC.

cagey, we are of similar age and have insured with MPI this year - we got the length of cover we needed as we are out here nearly all winter, and could exclude things we didn't need like Cancellation cover. OH spent a lot of time trawling the net and this seemed the best deal, with reputable people.

I'd recommend becoming a member of the austrian alpine club, have a UK branch http://aacuk.org.uk/p-benefits
Provides essential insurance such as rescue, repatriation and liability. Looks like it's actually cheaper for seniors £33 per year, http://aacuk.org.uk/p-membership-2013
I have AAC membership as well as regular travel insurance, the one pam w, mentions seems a good deal for that.

cagey, MPI should be able to see you right.

cagey, and you will find it harder once you are over 65 to get the cover with the price at reasonable levels.

Iski, Yeah, the discounts start at 70+ in most places . . . that's just parsimony by the lift companies ...

You know it makes sense.

Round here in PDS they keep pushing the seniors rate up by a year each year and I bet by the time we are 75 when we should be free in LG/Morzine they will have abandoned altogether. But its all because there are so many of us keeping fit by skiing away so much.

Yes, that's what I think too. Looking round at some of folks you see whizzing round our area, they have a point. I take the view that if, when I am 70+, I am still fit and able to ski (which I have every intention of being) then I am very fortunate, and paying for a very cheap discounted early purchase lift pass will be something I shall do each year, with great joy and thanksgiving.

I get a discount - but it's a very small one, not worth getting old for.
