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,

I need to renew my insurance to include guided off piste.
Before I renew with my current insurer, could somebody provide a recommendation as to who they are insured with please.

thanks

I just had quotes for renewing mine. Based on recommendations on here, I went with MPI. They agreed to cover a medical condition and were slightly cheaper than Columbus, who I also got a quote from. Axa (my current insurer) were ridiculously expensive.

@hd, @RobinS, AAC only covers medical expenses up to €10k though.

If you get a serious injury off-piste, you'll be covered for rescue (up to €25k) and €10k medical but any further expenses will have to be covered by you (If you're somewhere like USA, Canada or Japan, medical expenses could easily top this). The cheapo policy won't cover your medical bills because the accident happened off piste which is not covered by the policy.

I went with MPI. ERV also offer upgrades to cover off-piste within resort boundaries and then off-piste outside the ski area

@musehead, unlikely you will be skiing off-piste in US/Canada though as all the terrain in bounds is patrolled and avalanche controlled. Thanks to this I've never felt the need to venture into backcountry terrain across the pond.

Thanks all - looks like the general consensus is MPI.
