Ski insurance

I'm off ski-ing to Finland in February with my 10 yr old son and am on the look out for insurance. It's a ski-ing holiday for one week and we won't be going off piste.

I've found this policy with travelplan direct and am not really sure if the cover is good enough or not. I don't want to be underinsured nor do I want to pay over the odds.

I'd appreciate any advice and apologise if the following information doesn't copy and paste well. :rolleyes:

    how much is this insurance? as I just get an annual family worldwide with winter sports from money supermarket and it was something like £57 for all of us for the year - the other thing about finland is the other activies that you may want to do such as husky rides etc - a lot of insurance companies do not cover you for such activities (not because they are overly dangerous) mainly because they have not thought of covering them
