 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I need cover for:
6 months
Europe
Ski instructing liability
Long trip duration (180 days)
A pre-existing medical condition that causes anaemia (if it matters, the mildest anaemia that exists, but still medically anaemic)
The combination of the last 2 are causing me issues. Anyone got any ideas? It's Austria if that helps - any option just to have some kind of Carte Neige that will cover me for emergency medical fees only?

I ride in Austria a fair bit but wouldn't consider specific insurance there any more than I would riding in Scotland. It's not the third world.
If you're an instructor then I'd imaging some professional cover would be needed for your other liabilities anyway?

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

It would be worth your while trying HCCMIS.
They seem to be more flexible than most.
Not cheap though.

Th basi travel/medical via dogtag would do the trick.

I would try the Austrian Ski Federation perhaps via the ski school that you will teach in or failing that the local tourist office may be able to help. In Germany DSV insurance is fantastic and their annual policy is excellent. I'm sure they will offer something that covers teaching and hopefully find a solution to the pre-existing condition.

This is the parent company of HCCMIS

Try ERV - they have provided us with competition cover for freestyle that is better than most and would be worth a call

I use the Snowsport England insurance, it is actually by Dogtag but allows long trips and pre-existing medical conditions.

Sneaky but legal, return to UK for a day around day 90 and get two policies. Unlikely to save money but I gather that's not the issue.

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

Thanks guys, sorted something out in the end. AndAnotherThing - annoyingly, no :/ That one would have been perfect, but they wouldn't touch me!
