How Does Life Insurance For Skiing & Snowboarding Cover Work?

Skiing and snowboarding Life insurance provides a cover amount that is paid out to designated beneficiaries if the policyholder dies. The cover amount is calculated at the policy outset and funded by regular premiums throughout the life cover.

Skiing Life Insurance Premiums

Life insurance cover is typically offered to holiday and recreational skiers and snowboarders at standard rates. They are unlikely to see any difference in policy premiums over standard rates.

If, however, you participate in higher-risk types of this winter pursuit, it may see a loading of premiums.

From an underwriter’s viewpoint, riskier examples of skiing and snowboarding activities include:

• Freestyle including mogul and halfpipe
• Competitive Racing including downhill and slalom
• Off-piste including helicopter
• Professional ski Instructor and guides
• Professional downhill skier or snowboarder
• Mountain skiing

Your premium will be loaded depending on your level of experience, frequency of participation and the hostility of the environment. Insurance underwriters will look at this on a case by case basis.

Other Types of Life Cover

Life insurance only pays out If the policyholder dies. Two different types of life cover are critical illness and income protection. These two types of cover are not dependent on the policyholder, passing away to payout a lump sum cover amount.

Skiing & Snowboarding Critical Illness Cover

This cover is useful if you are involved in an activity or profession with specific illnesses that are associated with them. Skiing and snowboarding both have a history of fractures and brain injuries resulting from falls.

Critical illness pays a lump sum should you survive at least ten to fourteen days from diagnosis. The lump sum is a result of paying regular premiums into a fixed-term policy. 

Critical illness cover comes with a standard list of illnesses. If you are involved in skiing, diseases prevalent in this sport can be on a cover list at the outset of the policy.

For illustration purposes, the standard list of illnesses includes the following:

• Structural heart surgery
• Heart attack
• Loss of foot or hand
• Paralysis of a limb
• Parkinson’s disease
• Intensive care
• Stroke
• Liver failure
• Kidney failure
• Traumatic brain injury
• Cardiac arrest
• Coronary artery by-pass grafts
• Heart valve replacement or repair
• Alzheimer’s disease or pre-senile dementia
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Multiple system atrophy
• Major organ transplant
• Motor neurone disease

Skiing & Snowboarding Income Protection Cover

If you cannot work for a long time, perhaps due to a snowboarding accident.

• Do your employers still pay your salary?
• Do you have financial obligations such as loans?
• Is your family dependent on your salary as the primary breadwinner?

These are valid reasons for taking out income protection cover. You should be able to enjoy your snowboarding or skiing activities in the knowledge that should an accident stop you from working you will be financially secure.

Income protection cover provides a regular, pre-determined salary if you cannot work. The wage is provided from one month to one year (depending on how long your employer pays your salary) following a claim.

Financial commitments can include but are not limited to, the following:

• Personal loans
• Outstanding mortgage
• Credit card debt
• Equity release loans
• Hire purchase agreements
• School fees
• Contract hire arrangements
