Insurance for Heli Skiing in
Insurance Options
Northern Escape Heli Skiing is pleased to offer new heli ski insurance options in partnership with Lifestyle Insurance & Benefits Brokers. We highly recommend purchasing Emergency Medical Coverage (including emergency air evacuation) as it combines the emergency evacuation with traveller’s medical insurance. We would also highly recommend you consider the Trip Interruption and/or Cancellation Insurance. This addition could be very beneficial for expensive trips such as this, should you have to return home in an emergency, be delayed in arriving due to travel/ flight delays, or have to cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances. For more heli ski insurance information see below, or for specific coverage information, please review the Lifestyle Insurance Policies.
Emergency Medical Coverage
(including air evacuation) – $15/day
Visitors to Canada Emergency Medical Coverage/Emergency Medical within Canada will cover the costs incurred if you are injured or become ill and must be hospitalized or visit a physician. It also covers any added costs you may incur (i.e. prescriptions, x-rays, painkillers). This insurance coverage covers any hospital transportation expenses incurred as a result of an air evacuation and/or ambulance services. It will also cover any potential coverage gaps held by you, the insured, in your home country/province (such as personal privately held plans and/or work provided group health plans). This coverage is designed specifically for Hel skiing/Cat skiing in British Columbia Canada and it will be a first payor in the event of an emergency. All claims require you to be seen by a physician. For more information please review the Lifestyle Insurance Emergency Medical Insurance Policy. Emergency Medical coverage can be purchased alone or in combination with Trip Interruption + Cancellation insurance.
Trip Interruption + Emergency Medical Coverage
(including air evacuation) – $35/day
Trip Interruption insurance coverage includes the amount paid out of pocket by you (for the cost of airfare, accommodations and other heli skiing vacation expenses) up to $25,000 commencing on the day you arrive in the care of NE Heli Skiing. This insurance coverage will protect your financial risks in the event of an emergency. It will cover the costs incurred for you to return home. Should you be injured or experience flight or travel delays, it will also reimburse you for any lost travel days. Unstable, pre-existing conditions will not be covered. This policy will also not cover any event that you have conscious knowledge of prior to purchasing the insurance policy for which a claim is intended to be made. This option also includes Emergency Medical Coverage as outlined above but does not protect you in the event of Trip Cancellation. All claims require you to be seen by a physician.
Trip Interruption + Trip Cancellation Insurance
Northern Escape Heli Skiing in partnership with Lifestyle Financial Services now offer our guests a comprehensive Cancellation and Interruption Insurance package, which is highly recommended. Trip Cancellation/Interruption protects your trip investment in the event of an unexpected cancellation or interruption. If circumstances dictate that you must cancel your heli ski trip at anytime prior to your scheduled departure date, or if your heli ski trip must be interrupted before the end of your ski holiday, the Interruption insurance will reimburse you for any prepaid travel arrangements that are not refundable and cannot be recovered from any other source. For more information please review the Lifestyle Insurance Trip Cancellation + Trip Interruption Insurance Policy. You may also wish to consult our Reservation Policies and Conditions for more information on our Cancellation Policy. Please note that Trip Interruption + Cancellation Insurance does not include Emergency Medical coverage.
Purchasing Ski Insurance Elsewhere
If you choose to purchase insurance elsewhere, make sure that any insurance you purchase covers you while you are in Canada or out of your home province and does not contain a clause excluding heli skiing.
Guests requiring evacuation who have arranged other evacuation insurance (or have no insurance) will be charged $2,950.00 per helicopter flight hour for any evacuation.
