Athlete and Leisure Travel Insurance Supporting British Snowsports
If you are a member of GB Snowsport, Snowsport England and Snowsport Scotland you will automatically benefit from Public Liability cover via your affiliation, which covers you anywhere in the world for activities recognised/approved by each respective organisation.
Please note that the Public Liability insurance received via your affiliation does not cover any insurances that link to a Travel insurance policy therefore if you require insurance for cancellation of flights, emergency medical expenses, medical evacuation, repatriation, loss of damage to ski equipment and baggage etc. this can now be obtained via Bluefin Sport.
IMPORTANT: When you select 'GET A QUOTE' you will be redirected to another website. To be covered for the winter sports listed under each Category you must select the 'Winter Sports Extension' option box when obtaining your quotation.
Working in association with:
GB Snowsport | Snowsport England | Snowsport Scotland

Insuring your Snowsports travel needs
Bluefin Sport, our Insurance Broker, has teamed up with Jackson Lee Underwriting to provide you with a quick and easy way to obtain a quotation and purchase online. There are two types of policy available:
- Sports Travel + Insurance - provides cover for sports individuals, which includes winter sports (you will need to select the 'Winter Sports Extension' option) and importantly cover whilst competing; both are often excluded from a standard travel policy.
- Holiday Travel Insurance - provides cover for those unexpected events that could occur before a holiday, whilst travelling, or whilst on holiday e.g. cancelling or cutting short a holiday or needing medical treatment. You can choose to purchase a single trip policy to cover one holiday only or an annual multi-trip policy to cover several individual holidays.
COVID-19 cover included as standard.
- Cancellation if the insured, member of the household, travelling companion or friend they are staying with are diagnosed with Covid-19 within 14 days prior to departure date.
- Curtailment due to death of a close relative.
- Medical Expenses including additional accommodation costs (room only) and repatriation back to the UK.
OPTIONAL ENHANCED COVID-19 COVER EXTENSION FOR VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS

- Cancellation cover if contacted by UK Test & Trace and told to self-isolate and this prevents the insured from starting their trip.
