Probably, but I'd be surprised if there was that big a choice of hospitals for it to be a problem. I really don't mind where I'm going as long as I'm in a hospital. Having said that, I may have misread the small print. Looks as though I just need to call 'Emergency Assistant Service' as soon as I'm in hospital, (In-patient Treatment Abroad) not to chose a hospital. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 24 hour Emergency Assistance Service provides immediate help in the event of an insured person's illness or injury whilst travelling abroad – they provide a 24 hour multi-lingual emergency service 365 days a year and can be contacted by telephone or fax.

I used 'Protect My Bubble'.
---------------------------------------------------- Cover: Premier Single Trip Inc Winter Sports Cost: £12.77 (Inclusive of Insurance Premium Tax) Destination: France Period of Cover: 01/02/2012 Single Trip, Duration: 5 Days Medical Expenses Cover: £10000000 Personal Liability: £2000000 Cancellation Cover: £5000 Baggage Cover: £2000 Personal Accident Cover: £25000 ----------------------------------------------------- This has £50 excess which seems pretty reasonable compared to a lot of others. There is no mention in the wording about having to wear helmets etc. All seem pretty standard. The one thing I did notice however is if I have an accident that requires me to go to hospital, I HAVE to ring a specific number that will (I think) list all of the hospitals in that area for which I will be covered. I guess I'd better let my bro know his, in case I'm knocked unconscious. |

Was she the fit blond one rolling around in the snow in a bikini? God bless sky+ pause and rewind. |

Well, that was fun.
If you are considering a visit, the website is a little misleading. You don't get a full hour on the machine, as you are split into two pairs and take it in turns. I'd say you get about 35-40 mins. And you'll need at least 3-4 sessions to reap any benefit. The first two, at least, will be spend getting used to the machine. I'd say it was a good alternative to a traditional dry ski slope if there's not one in your area, but you'd be better off saving the money and spending it on lessons on your holiday. |

Depends where you are. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't last too long waving your arms around in -30 temperatures. Digging in would be a last resort, but one that would undoubtedly save your life. |

Thank god for that!!! We went late Jan last year, and are going Feb 1 this year. Was really worried we may have caught the holiday period. |

I'd have dug a snow hole bear grills style, and rode out the storm.
Or did what you did, and follow the next person to pass. |

Even with the mounts you get in the standard helmet hero pack you'd be able to conjure something up. |
