   Your father is correct, but don’t fret, you can still make it work! The insurance your father is speaking about (I am making an assumption) is the kind that is used to replace skiis or snowboards, should they break.

   Is that correct?

   If so, you can rent your skiis and boots and poles at many sporting good stores. I live in Southern California, we have Big 5 and sport chalet and CBS board shops. All of these locations rent skii equipment. You can use the internet or a phone book to find a local sports store and see if they rent. Take your father with you and have him sign the forms and waiver of liability. Make sure to do this as CLOSE to your planned skii day as possible, as you’re charged a rental fee for every day you have the items out.

   As for the actual skiing, you do not technically need a parent with you. You may purchase your own lift tickets and skii on the slopes. There is no insurance that a mountain will offer you in terms of injury, etc, so I’m fairly certain your father was speaking about equipment insurance.

   I would still recommend someone over the age of 18 going though, it’s just safer that way!

   Good luck on your skii trip! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

   P.S. I would HIGHLY recommend that you bring a piece of paper and put it in an easily accesible pocket on your skii jacket. Have the following information written on it.

   1. Your full name
   2. An emergency name and number (For instance, your parents names and their cell and home phone numbers)
   3. The health insurance company that covers you (This is probably through your mom or your dad)
   4. The “group #, or policy # etc” on the insurance card
   5. The 1-800 customer service number on the insurance card.
   6. The names and cell phone numbers of people on the mountain with you.

   That way if anything bad DOES happen to you, you’ll be ok =)

   Welke verzekering? Ik denk 16 genoeg oud zijn maar het kan van de berg afhangen. De berg dicht bij ons is kleine en ik zie heel wat tieners misschien ski?end daar zonder hun ouders. Het hangt van uw rijpheidsniveau en capaciteit om af de regels te volgen. Natuurlijk is er overvloed van volwassenen dat één van beide don' t kent de regels of verkiest om hen niet te volgen. Bent u in de V.S.?
