Dogtag or Snowcard

If you are not racing or "DH specific" tracks your usual travel ins should cover you.

When I went I spoke to my usual travel ins'er (Halifax Ultimate reward bank account) and they confirm provided the SOLE purpose of the trip wasn't a particular sport i.e. a MTB package holiday, you are covered under the std policy.

Another vote for Snowcard.

If I were you, I'd check out who paid up for the ash cloud losses, and go with them 🙂

Try Endsleigh. They have some sports covered as standard and charge a little extra for more extreme stuff.
Good value, cover and payout promptly as i found out!

They all now seem to have 'natural disasters' as an - expensive - add on

Any insurer that includes mountain / helicopter rescue / recovery from inaccessible locations. Most standard insurers assume you can be scraped up by a standard ambulance crew to get you to a hospital. Snowtag / Dogcard will cover full costs of recovery and not just the medical expenses.
