Had a claim on my policy last season and wasn't desperately impressed.
Travel insurance is great, until you need to make a claim.....
You can spend hours shopping around, there are loads of similar products on the market, all around the £10=£20 single trip mark. But be careful it covers what you think you might need it to cover, and what the ins and outs are. Dont expect to claim back hundreds if they close the pistes, that just doesnt happen any more.
Personally, my bank gives me free travel insurance with the type of account I have, and this includes a free upgrade for winter sports, and the cover is better than most of the package operators policies.
