If you are unable to source your own insurance Snow Australia has identified some policies that meet the FIS requirements. More information on each of these policies is available below or on the Competition Insurance page of the website. Before purchasing insurance please make sure it meets your personal requirements.

Before submitting your EOI make sure you are eligible to compete by meeting the event criteria for the requested events. Once submitted Snow Australia staff will confirm receipt of your EOI and keep you up to date with the entry process. Please ensure you submit your EOI to entries@snow.org.au within the published timelines. Please note that submitting an EOI does not guarantee your entry as eligiblity and quota rules will need to be applied.
