Each of you have surely seen some injuries. Unfortnately not always come everything you well, so injuries are part of our sport. And when something happens, whether you brake your leg, arm, ribs or you get buried in an avalanche, it’s time to call rescue. Paramedics come, ride up or come flying. They don’t ask for money and save you, whoever you are and wherever you are. Then you lie for a while in the hospital and you go home smiling and happy, that they found, took away, put into gypsum, simply save just you.

But here is far from the end of all your suffering. The administrative wheels of all cells in in the rescue chain grind slowly, but surely. And so one day you wake up and you have in the mailbox an invoice for the helicopter of X thousand Euros, for postoperative care in the value of X thousand Euros and bill for transportation to Czech Republic for another X thousand Euros. And the problem is on the world. Where to get money for this? This can be a lifelong problem for most of us.

Fortunately, we can avoid these subsequent problems. When you select the appropriate type of insurance for your sport, the insurance company will pay all the above costs for your rescue and you can still take your powder skis and go riding again. That’s because you’ll have enough for ticket and you won’t have to pay a loan that you have taken to pay invoices for rescuing.

Powderline gang knows all these problems from personal experience and because we also know you we try to show you the path to this insurance.Many of you know it, it’s Alpenverein.
