Heavy Snow – Are you covered with JS Travel Insurance? | JS Insurance

It might seem strange that you might have to cancel or abandon your Ski Trip due to heavy snow, but this does sometimes happen. It did happen in many resorts last year! What happens if you can’t travel because of heavy snow?

With our Travel Insurance policies, you are covered for Trip Abandonment with the JS Silver, JS Gold and JS Platinum Winter Sports policies.

If you are delayed for more than 12 hours after checking in on time at the Airport, we will compensate you for any loss of bookings such as Accommodation or Ski Passes.

So if you decide that a long delay is not worth continuing your trip, you can be assured that you will be able to recover some of the costs.

Additionally, suppose you are delayed in getting to the Airport and miss the check-in time, for example. If the road to the Airport is closed due to heavy snowfall or the public transport you plan to use is not functioning, then you could claim in these circumstances.

If snow delays your return to your home country, the Travel Insurance policy continues until you reach your home automatically without you needing to contact us to extend the policy.

What happens if you get to the Resort with heavy snow and the pistes are closed?

You can sometimes be compensated for losing Ski days and your unused Ski Pass or Cancellation of Ski Lessons. This has happened in some resorts in Europe in the last few weeks. You should check your Schedule of Benefits on your Travel Insurance to see if you have Piste Closure and Ski P Coverack.

This can also happen when you have been at the Resort for a few days, and if there is a heavy fall of snow, the Resort might close all pistes or some of them for safety reasons.

This may happen if there is a chance of an Avalanche or if there may be safety issues with the lifts.
