Note about point 2...
It is a policy condition that this is done, the insurance will then pay if this action is unsuccessful or an administration charge is made by the service provider during this process.

A bit of history
Until the mid 1980's some wintersports insurance policies provided cover under the curtailment section (click here to see curtailment) that in the event of injury that prevents the customer from skiing - the purpose of their trip, he could return home early and claim the associated additional costs plus the proportional lost holiday.
Unfortunately this cover is no longer available other than for returning home early (or later) for medical reasons. It is for this reason we introduced the ski pack cover.
