Process of snowboarding life insurance application
We often find that snowboarding life insurance is offered at the same rates as normal life insurance (for those who do not recreationally take part in extreme sports). Despite this, some insurance providers will want to know more about your snowboarding activity such as:
- How often you snowboard
- Where do you snowboard
- Do you snowboard competitively or professionally
- Is any of your snowboarding off-piste
- Amount of cover required
- Term of policy
- Type of cover
Snowboarding critical illness cover
Most of the time snowboarding critical illness cover applications are processed quickly and almost always offered at the same rate as someone who doesn’t participate in the sport. However, if you are someone who snowboards competitively, you may find a small increase in premium that reflects the additional risks associated with competitive snowboarding. Also, if you have any health or medical issues you could find your application being subject to additional underwriting.
Snowboarding income protection
The same rule of thumb applies to income protection as it does for critical illness cover. Therefore if you only take part in snowboarding recreationally, you can expect the same rates as someone who does not participate in the activity or any other extreme sports.

What to look for in a snowboard insurance?
When looking for snowboard life insurance, it’s crucial to consider coverage that provides financial protection in case of accidents on the slopes. Look for a policy that offers benefits for accidental death and dismemberment, as well as coverage for winter sports activities. Additionally, ensure the policy’s coverage amount is sufficient to support your loved ones in the event of an unforeseen tragedy while snowboarding.
