Winter Sports

Winter sports cover usually costs more because

(a) You’re probably cool and have lots of expensive clothes and equipment - the latest board, latest bindings and the Oakley goggles
(b) You probably pull the sickest moves and so are more likely to wind up in hospital
(c) Sometimes, following (b), you are taken to hospital with the ‘slow family of four' you were trying to avoid but accidentally mowed into the slope and off the cliff

It also usually covers things such as piste closure and avalanches (if you survive).
