Piste closure cover details - up to £300 (nil excess) The Piste Closure covers you for any and all extra costs for transport that we arrange for you in the event that it may be necessary to transfer you by coach to another ski area if it becomes impossible to ski in your resort, due to lack of snow
or too much snow. If you have pre-booked your lift-pass, this sum will be refunded to you in full in resort. This cover applies to downhill alpine skiing and does not cover cross-country skiing, nor does it apply to piste closure due to adverse weather conditions other than lack of snow or too much snow (eg. high winds). In the unlikely event that no suitable alternative area is available, you will be entitled to compensation on return to UK of £20 for each complete day you have been unable to ski.
