Those travelling with PowderQuest are responsible for securing personal travel insurance.
PowderQuest requires that you have insurance that covers personal accident, medical expenses, and air ambulance.
In addition, we highly recommend adding on insurance that covers loss of effects, trip delay, trip cancellation and all other expenses which might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience.
Should you decide to not add on the recommended above, PowderQuest cannot be held responsible for covering costs arising from any event falling in these categories.

Here are some good reasons to always travel with Travel Insurance and why we suggest Travelex Insurance for our USA guests:
"I’ve become ill and don’t feel well enough to travel"
When you purchase a plan that offers trip cancellation/ interruption coverage within a specified period of your initial trip deposit, you are covered for pre-existing conditions. That means you can cancel your trip if you get sick - and be reimbursed for any non-refundable expenses relating to your trip.
"I think I have an ear infection – what’s "ear infection" in Spanish?"
Travelex plans offer 24-hour worldwide assistance. Call toll-free to access our 24 hour medical assistance helpline to receive advice or get information on English-speaking doctors in your area.
"We were on our way home when the airline went on strike"
The trip delay benefit covers for up to $750 TraveLite/$1000 Travel Plus in non-refundable expenses for strikes that affect public transportation.
"I arrived but my luggage didn’t"
Whether your bag is lost or merely delayed, you can be reimbursed for the purchase of clothing and personal articles so you can enjoy your vacation.
"My father-in-law fell and injured himself – I normally care for him"
The illness or injury of family members is also included under covered reasons to cancel. It’s important to remember that even if you are fit to travel, other events may make departing on your trip unthinkable.
"We missed our connection because of a flight delay"
You arrive in your connecting city but your flight is long gone and the next flight is not until tomorrow morning. The travel delay offers coverage for accommodations and meals.
"We were traveling when I had an injury skiing"
When a medical emergency happens far away from home and far away from proper medical facilities, you want to ensure you receive adequate care. Our medial evacuation benefit will cover emergency transportation for you and a companion to the nearest facility or back home.
"A terrorist act has occurred in a city through which my flight will be connecting"
Both domestic and international terrorist acts are covered reasons to cancel your trip provided the act occurs within 30 days of your scheduled departure date.
"My wallet – with my cards and passport – has been stolen"
Emergency assistance services will assist you in reporting your lost documents and make arrangements for an emergency cash transfer should that be required. As well, the baggage benefit provides coverage for loss due to the unauthorized use of your card.
