The cold temperatures and abundant snowfalls are a perfect combination for outdoor activities such as skiing and snowboarding. If your outdoor adventure takes you across the border, here are two things to watch out for:
1. Make sure you’re covered. Many travel insurance policies don’t cover high-risk activities like skiing or snowboarding. Check out the fine print in your policy before you buy. Already insured? Look for an upgrade to make sure you are protected in case of an accident.
2. Keep your wits about you. Even if you know your limit, you should be aware that the effects of alcohol are more potent at higher altitudes. Your insurance policy likely won’t cover you if an accident happens while you have been drinking. A good rule of thumb: potentially dangerous activities and alcohol shouldn’t be mixed.
