The Ski Club of Great Britain and Acumus Insurance Solutions have launched a comprehensive insurance product aimed specifically at seasonal workers spending four to six months working in resort. The product, launched under the name Seasonal 100, 200 and 300 provides the choice of three varying levels of cover designed to suit the varying needs of seasonal workers.
The policies cover a wide range of wintersports activities as standard including off-piste skiing and snowboarding, and the option to upgrade cover for personal belongings and ski equipment up to the value of �4,000 has also been added.
Fiona Sweetman, Marketing Manager for Ski Club of Great Britain said �Travel insurance is a vital part of anyone�s ski or snowboarding holiday. For seasonal workers who often spend many months in resort it is essential. We�ve created an affordable product which covers more than just skiing and boarding and includes activities such as tobogganing, snow parks and snowmobiling. For the levels of cover offered by the policy, we believe the price represents exceptional value for money.�
The Daily Mail Ski Show held at Olympia, London on 12th � 16th Oct, 2005 will be the platform used to launch the new product. Visitors will have the chance to win free ski season insurance as well as becoming the public face of the new policy alongside top international freeride skier Nick Southwell who is based in Verbier, Switzerland during the winter season.
Sweetman added �As the UK�s leading snowsports club, the Daily Mail Ski Show is a very important event for us. It was the obvious place to launch the product with thousands of ski and snowboard enthusiasts all under one roof. All you have to do is visit the Ski Club stand to enter the competition.�
Four months cover in Europe ranges from �148 (seasonal 100) to �251 (Seasonal 300). A saving of up to 5% can be made by booking on-line at www.skiclub.co.uk or alternatively call 08700 759 759.
The Ski Club of Great Britain is the leading, independent, not-for-profit snowsports club, offering excellent value to its members. Run by snowsports enthusiasts, the Ski Club brings 100 years of experience to enable today's recreational skiers and boarders to maximise their snowsports experience.
