Hey guys, long time no post 
Just a quick question. If Rob & I were going to take out the SCUK insurance, could we take out a family membership as just 2 adults? And would we both need to be SCUK members for the discount to apply (although it's a very good price even without the discount!)
Or is there an SCUK membership for couples?
Also - a question about off-piste. It just says we need to be accompanied - so not alone, or need a guide? It doesn't specify in the T&C. Not that it will be a huge issue, our off-piste in Europe this season will mainly be restricted to sides of piste, rather than backcountry, as we won't have much time to explore properly.
Cheers! |

Excellent, thanks for that.
My only concern with them is the equipment cover...

I never worry too much about that as all my kit is already covered on the home insurance, depends on what your going to do I guess, if you have no guide you either a, dont go off piste, b accept you have no insurance, I would rather not have that choice taken away from me  |

That's how I read it, but want 'official' confirmation But seems like the last post in the link answers that, thanks. |

Thats how I understand it.
The best thing would be phone up and check to make sure. |

Yeah, I usually phone them anyway.
I have asthma (like I ever use the inhalers!) but have to confirm that it's all okay |

What lez (and the various flashy ads around the site) say. The standard T&G policy states you must be accompnaied by a guide like most policies. The SCUK T&G policy wording means you just can't ride off piste alone, which is common sense anyway.
Equipment cover is very generous too compared with many. SCUK Members get a 10% discount too,. |

| Thanks Dunx. Did you see my question about the membership/couples? I presume we can get a family insurance policy, so do we both have to be SCUK members, or do you have a couples membership for SCUK? |

What Nick says... there's no membership pack any more for the very reason you give. Just discounts for all.
