What is Ski Boarding?

Ski Boarding is a winter sport where participants use a hybrid of skis and snowboards to glide down snow-covered slopes. It combines elements of skiing and snowboarding, offering a unique experience that emphasizes agility and control. It’s popular among those looking for an alternative to traditional skiing or snowboarding.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Ski Boarding?

Yes. Ski Boarding can result in injuries due to falls, collisions, or cold weather conditions. If you’re traveling to resorts or participating in events, travel insurance helps protect you against medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
