Travel Insurance
What Travel Insurance We Require
When joining a guided PowderQuest trip, we require that you have holiday insurance for ski travel that covers:
- personal accident
- medical expenses
- and air ambulance (emergency evacuation)
Additionally, if you are joining our Advanced Off-Piste or Backcountry trips, you need to make sure your insurance covers off-piste and/or backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the countries you will be visiting.
Highly Suggested Travel Insurance Add-ons
We highly recommend adding on insurance that covers lost baggage, trip delay, trip cancellation and all other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience.
Should you decide to not add on the recommended above, PowderQuest cannot be held responsible for covering costs or providing refunds arising from any event falling in these categories.
What About Cancel For Any Reason Insurance?
Not required, but for peace of mind, many travelers are booking “cancel for any reason” trip insurance. Not a good snow year? Coronavirus (COVID-19) anxiety? Last minute work issues? Just not up for the trip last minute? You can cancel for any reason and get most of your trip investment back. Travel Guard Insurance, listed below offers this option.
