AUSTIN, Texas, July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In an exciting
announcement for the upcoming season, Spot is launching
partnerships with The National Ski Patrol, The
Professional Ski Instructors of America and American Association of
Snowboard Instructors, and Powder Mountain. Together,
they are bringing short term injury insurance to skiers,
snowboarders, and mountain bikers, ensuring they can get out there
and live more than a little.
Spot is working closely with industry icons who are now acting
as key advisors for the insurtech startup. Regarded as one of the
best snowboarders in the world, Travis
Rice is a big-mountain freeride legend with an unrivaled
track record for making genre-defining and trailblazing
snowboarding films. And Julian
Carr, widely recognized for the biggest airs in skiing,
has been featured in seven Warren
Miller films, developing a reputation not only for
death-defying jumps but for all-around skiing.
"Over my career, I have seen it happen again and again– friends
get hurt and are either not insured or have such a high deductible
that an injury can crush them financially," said Spot advisor,
Travis Rice. "Spot's insurance
product in the outdoor market is a game-changer. I am a Spot
advisor because I think it is important for anyone pushing their
limits to take care of themselves."
Spot has reimagined the insurance ecosystem for the outdoor
industry and its enthusiasts alike. For a low cost on top of a
daily lift ticket or season pass – skiers, snowboarders, and
mountain bikers can opt-in for $20k
of coverage towards medical bills and send it with peace of
mind.
"For the snow industry, partnering with Spot is no brainer,"
said Spot Co-Founder and CEO, Matt
Randall. "We are creating an entirely new way to insure
people, giving skiers peace of mind when they need it most."
