I find this odd. Does this mean that all of us who own apartments/chalets etc are excluded from the cover this company offers. If so it is very worrying.

And why didn't the man who lost his season lift pass not report it to the lift pass office so it could be cancelled and a new one issued?

Nothing amiss, the annual policies have a limit of 21 or 24 days on skis each year, its a general travel policy with ski cover, the guy was caught out because the lift pass was a season pass and it was obvious that he'd been skiing more than the limit of days. Yes this policy is probably unsuitable for property owners that make numerous trips each year unless they buy enough policies to cover the number of days they ski. I think the guy claimed for loss of use of pass due to injury. The policy is probably designed for normal people that don't ski more than 3 weeks a year and go on summer holidays as well.

I have just checked my policy and the words are:
"

Scottish winter climbing, ice climbing and alpine climbing
All climbing in Europe and most peaks worldwide up to 6,500m
Trekking above 5,000m, other than in remote or inaccessible areas
Most trekking peaks in Nepal, standard trekking routes on Aconcagua, via Horcones-, Vacas- and Guanacos- Valleys
Snowboarding is included in Europe and can be covered Worldwide on payment of an additional premium"
Interesting 1/2 pipe is on the excluded list
"Annual Multi-trip policies are limited to either 45 days abroad per individual trip (90 days in total per year); 60 days abroad per individual trip (120 days in total per year); or 90 days abroad per individual trip (180 days in total per year). If you cancel your policy after 14 days of receipt of the policy documents no premium refund will be made."
There is no specific limit to skiing days

@johnE, in my off-piste days (past now) I thought BMC was a good as it gets. Clear wording of useful cover. These days Saga does it for me

@tangowaggon, I can see how it makes sense - that they don't really check. As it would be difficult for them to verify and instances of people exceeding must be minimal. Most people wouldn't take the risk even if they needed to. Sadly I've never managed over 21 days whilst holding an annual policy.
