SO's sproglet needs to get insurance sorted for a week's boarding in
Andorra, cheap as poss. Any recommendations?

I always use www.snowcard.co.uk for my annual policy. Dunno how
competitive they are for single trip cover, but they provide good
cover so worth checking.

We used them until last renewal, but Direct-Travel seems as good and a
fair bit cheaper.

I tend to use Snowcard for single-trip cover. They aren't cheap when a
lot of the bells and whistles such as off-piste snowboarding are
added, but they have a good reputation and they explicitly don't
exclude loss of ski equipment left outside mountain restaraunts. I
notice that the Direct Insurance simply says 'reasonable care', which
*could* mean simply splitting skis. Or could not. Dunno how you'd
split a snowboard in any case. Mine is fairly safe because a) it's an
ex-rental novice board that nobody in their right mind would nick and
b) it's got an unusual type of step-in binding.
