WARWICK, R.I., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As winter sports season ramps up, travelers are booking snow-focused vacations, including trips that go beyond traditional downhill skiing. They’re opting, instead, for snowboarding, snowmobiling, heli-skiing, and other adventure-driven winter adventures.
New data from SOVENTURE (an InsureMyTrip brand) shows growing interest in winter sports travel. Visits to SOVENTURE’s Winter Sports page jumped 600% in December 2025 compared to August, while Google searches for “winter sports” increased 22.7%.
To help travelers prepare, InsureMyTrip CEO, Suzanne Morrow, is answering common questions about winter sports coverage.
Q: Does travel insurance cover skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports?
Morrow: Coverage varies by plan, but many policies include popular snow activities such as downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, heli-skiing/boarding, snowshoeing, sledding, snow tubing, ice skating, dog sledding, and bobsledding.*
Q: What types of coverage should winter sports travelers look for?
Morrow: Key coverages often include:
- Emergency medical coverage
- Emergency medical evacuation
- Trip cancellation and interruption
- Travel delay
- Baggage and gear protection
Q: Will travel insurance cover emergency mountain rescue or medical evacuation?
Morrow: In many cases, yes. Most comprehensive and travel medical plans include emergency medical evacuation, which helps get travelers to the nearest appropriate medical facility if they’re injured. Some plans might cover point-of-injury evacuation, meaning you can be transported directly from where the accident happens, which is especially important in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Q: Does travel insurance cover lost, stolen, or damaged ski and snow gear?
Morrow: Some plans offer limited coverage for sporting equipment, while others may require a rider for higher-value gear.
Q: Does travel insurance cover weather-related delays or cancellations?
Morrow: Yes. Most comprehensive travel insurance policies include trip delay and trip interruption benefits for covered weather-related events.
