Yes, if you've selected cover for Winter Sports, we'll pay up to £5,000 on the Essential policy or up to £10,000 on the Premier policy if any excursions or ski/ snowboard lessons have to be cancelled due to poor weather or because there is no snow at your ski resort.

You'll also be covered for the costs of the pre-paid ski lift pass for each day the lifts are not in use (up to the total of £5,000 on the Essential policy or £10,000 on the Premier policy.)
