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 :-)

hi all,
need advice regarding ski insurance.
basically we usually ski only one-week per season, and in 2016 we will either go to Norway or Italy (we do not do off-piste).
I've been searching for travel insurance but reading the small print you get quite confused. E.g. I always download the "policy wording" and try to find "rescue", "search", "evacuation". Apparently the insurance policies say that "medical evacuation" "is" covered under medical session, but not "search and rescue", which I believe is if you get lost in the mountains, etc
Questions:
1) If I go to Italy (Passo Tonale) there is a glacier there and apparently "glacier skiing" is only covered by paying an extra premium. Is "glacier skiing" considered taking a t-bar lift and skiing down a red run???? Or is it something more "advanced"?
2) Am I okay to assume that "winter cover" covers for mountain rescue/medical evacuation?
Sorry for the noob questions, but I spent several frustrating hours today trying to figure out which insurance company to choose from.
Any comments, past experiences are greatly appreciated
