There are many benefits to living in Vermont and when it comes to vacation choices in your own backyard a ski trip is hard to beat. Do you have a current life insurance policy? You might want to check the fine print before hitting the slopes. Your Vermont insurance policy may have exclusions for dangerous activities, which could mean if you were to have an unfortunate accident while on the ski slopes there could be an issue with the payout. It’s always best to check and if you enjoy some of the more dangerous sporting activities, ask your agent to find you a more appropriate policy.
Hopefully your ski vacation won’t end in disaster. To help you stay safe on the slopes, having the correct sized skis is important. Here is how to make sure the skis you choose are a good fit:
- Don’t be misled by the length of skis. Shorter skis might appear less cumbersome but beginners usually find longer skis give them more stability.
- Skis are sized in centimeters so remember there are 2.54 centimeters to one inch.
- Most quality skiing shops will have a chart that lists the right ski length for a person based on his or her skiing ability and height.
- Hold the ski upright against your body, for a beginner it should reach your chin.
Every skier has to start at the beginning and people learn at different rates, so take it slow and steady to keep as safe as possible. Taking precautions to minimize the risk of injuring yourself can help keep you safe. Checking that your Vermont insurance life policy will still be valid should something unexpected happen can give you the peace of mind to enjoy your holiday.
