Backpakers Insurance with winter Sports

Can anybody help me?
I am moving to New Zealand for a couple of years and not sure where I can get cheap travel and health insurance. All the quotes do not seem to bad untill I add on the winter sports cover. If anyone knows of a company that gives a reasonable rate it would great to hear from you.

Thanks

    We use ACE travel insurance, really cheap and covered nearly every sport we wanted to do. Not sure how long they cover for though but certainly worth a look

    read the T&C don't just go for the cheapest! I got mine from Money Supermarket due to the cost and my bag went missing in HongKong :( Then the airline went bust (Oasis)!
    Only to be told i am only covered for the trip out and not back! - I know this does not relate to your question but just take it as advise.

    PS i got my bag back after 40 calls to Hongkong lucky for me they are free on VOIP!
