Whether you love to snowshoe, ski, or snowmobile, winter sports run the risk of injury. Even those whose only winter sport is sprinting from the hot tub to the hotel room run can slip and fall (although we sure hope not). Depending on your health insurance plan, you may have a high deductible, or may not even be eligible for care across state lines. 

Travel insurance is an excellent way to ensure coverage for any medical mishaps that happen while you're in Winter Wonderland.  

3. Evacuation 

When we talk about emergency evacuation, we generally think of medevac. While it is a highly valuable benefit, there are other kinds of necessary accommodations travel insurance covers.  For instance, if you have a ski accident, you may need a flight home with special seating. 

These seating accommodations range from first class seating with more leg room to a medical ambulance with shock absorbent beds to prevent you from further injury during transport.  

Of course, some of these scenarios aren't exclusive to domestic winter getaways. Trips to the Caribbean can be delayed by snow. A flight to the Alps may be canceled thanks to terrible storms.
