Travel Insurance

ski travel protection insurance

When joining a guided PowderQuest trip, we require that you have insurance for ski travel that covers:

  • trip interruption and cancellation should you not be able to travel due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances (often included as a benefit on travel credit cards)
  • personal accident and medical expenses while traveling and skiing/snowboarding

We have listed a few options at the end of this post. PowderQuest cannot be held responsible for covering costs or providing refunds arising from any event falling in these categories.

What About Cancel For Any Reason Insurance?

Not required, but for peace of mind, many travelers are booking “cancel for any reason” trip insurance. Not a good snow year? Last minute work issues? You can cancel for any reason and get most of your trip investment back. 

Insurance for Backcountry Trips

Additionally, if you are joining our Backcountry skiing trips, you need to make sure your insurance covers backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the countries you will be visiting.

Some South American trips involve backcountry skiing at high altitudes. This needs to be covered in your plan if you will be traveling with us to Valle Nevado, La Parva, Portillo, Las Lenas, Cajon de Maipo, or Maule.
