Ski and snow travel insurance

Skiing and snowboarding overseas can be great fun. But when you're speeding down a mountain on a piece or two of wood, the chance of an accident might be higher than if you're just wandering the pavement of a historic city. That's why Medibank Travel Insurance allows you to add additional ski and snow cover to your policy.
