Trying to sort out next year's insurance and would much prefer an annual policy if possible. MPI have been very helpful but best they can offer is annual with max trips of 90 days but 62 days for skiing trips. This would mean too many trips home in the winter just to stick to the limits. Anyone aware of any others? I'm asking french bank what they can offer.

I did the bmc one for a few years good risky sports cover and long term possible but they got very expensive. Have got dog tag now but thinking of trying Austrian AC next time.

@Claude B, wouldn't it be possible to get a seasonnaires insurance with MPI and then a normal policy for the rest of the year?

Have a search for what Weathercam uses, as he is in Serre Che for much of the winter.

Weathercam's looked expensive but I'm comparing against carte neige, not a long term travel insurance.

BMC works out at £400+ and still won't cover me for enough time out of the country in total.

Claude B, What kind of cover do you need ?
I get two or three single-trip policies to cover the times that I will be skiing, I go back to the UK for Christmas and half-term.

@rjs, Out in France skiing, December, then New Year to end of season then 3 months in summer non skiing plus probably 1 more week elsewhere in Europe.
Seasonnaire policy wasn't as expensive as I expected. Will have to weigh up a number of options I think.

I use this, a single trip can be up to 18 months. I switched to it mainly because it gave cover for racing and coaching.

@rjs, Thanks, £330 for one year bronze cover inc 150 days skiing, doesn't seem too bad.

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

You know it makes sense.

@Claude B,
The Ski Club of GB could be worth a try. We have an annual policy with them for the 2 of us, including unlimited skiing and SCGB membership.

For the record, MPI’s Annual Multi Trip (AMT) policies cover up to 17 days’ skiing per trip, with unlimited trips during the 12 month period. The number of skiing days can be increased to 31 or 60 days per trip as an option. People wanting more than 60 days’ skiing cover for a trip should obtain a Seasonaires or Long Stay policy.

We've been relying on the AAC cover (in conjunction with the EHIC card), with a mid-season trip home to get around the '8 weeks per trip' restriction that applies to emergency medical treatment and repatriation.

@jbob, can I ask you about austrian a.c? What is it?
I am looking for extended ski cover for next year as my annual policy only covers 31 days and I need 36 days on one trip.

@speachmaus, Join the Austrian Alpine club. Mmbership is very reasonable and includes basic mountain rescue, emergency medical, repatriation, transportation between hospitals and third party liability insurance cover for the first 8 weeks of any trip.

I need cover for 5 weeks continuous skiing. My annual policy only covers 31 days total.
I will be spending the 5 weeks in Austria.
But I will need trip cover too for 36 days not just mountain cover.
