I used 'dogtag' insurance a few years back to cover me whilst MTB racing in Poland... not cheap, but they were the only firm I found that would cover MTBing, never mind racing!

+1 for snowcard, not cheap also but seems to be good cover.

another regular Dogtag user here - I have a year long policy and they're great everytime I've had to use them. I recommend them to all our customers too.

Mmm £32 is peanuts if you need treatment, especially if you don't have insurance! We have fab insurance through work but when Mr MC broke his knee in Morzine in July and spent 4 days in a French hospital having surgery we forked out nearly £1000 and that was without the actual hospital/surgery bill so worth every penny!!!
also meant to say it may be that if you are planning to go away anywhere at all later in the year it's cheaper to ge an annual insurance policy than just a single trip.

I use a Fortis policy - covers MTB and wintersports. It's important to read carefully all the sports included and excluded (there can be some very fine lines of distinction) if you're into anything beyond lying on a beach.
