Climbing Insurance 17-Nov-2011 At 5:27:04 AM timfreddo

Its there Bones... I have 12 months insurance with Insure4less, on a working holiday trip to Canada.
Therefore I couldnt use AAC, as I am out of Australia for more than 8 (i thaught I read 6) weeks...
So I had to fork out bigtime for my insurance. $1300 for 1 years travel insurance with 6 months of snowsports cover, and an extra $1000 for the climbing insurance on top.

Skiing is the tricky thing with Insure4less.
At the resort, im allowed anywhere that is in-bounds or not closed at the time of skiing.
I'm not covered for Backcountry skiing..... unless I am on the way to or from cimbing... I wonder if i can get away with shoving some Rope and an Axe in my Ski touring setup, and tell them I was on the way down from the crag when I broke myself...
