I'll be updating the policy documents available at www.snowboardclub.co.uk/insurance tomorrow, but so you know the off-piste cover is now worded...
Quote:
Winter sports activities are insured subject to the appropriate premium having been paid, if using a recognised piste. Random ‘off piste’ winter sports activities will only be insured if with a qualified instructor or in a group of not less than 3 persons in possession of working communications or portable telephone. No cover for winter sports activities against local authority advice.
Before it said you were covered off-piste if "accompanied". Now there needs to be at least 3 people, all with phones. That's sensible anyway, but is a change to previous wording, so I thought I'd highlight the change. The vast majority of policies simply won't cover you at all off piste or insist you be with a qualified guide. |

I took my cover out last week. Does that mean I will be on the old rules as I'm planning on doing a bit of off-piste when I'm out there?
Cheers, |

| I imagine you'll be covered by whatever documents you were issued with at the time of purchase. |

Just make sure your phone is switched off unless you need to make a call. Transceivers / mobiles don't work well together and I'd much rather have my transceiver working constantly when I was off piste. |

| Good point, well made! I'll pass that on to tgic as it's possibly asking people to put themselves at additional risk! I think the new wording is from Lloyds specifically, so may be a widely used restriction on other policies. I've suggested they contact avalanche transceiver manufacturers to seek clarification. |

| Regarding the 3rd part UK coverage, what do we do in the unlikely event that it's needed? |
