    You doing DH riding too? I found that very few insurance companies cover that, so if you do get injured whilst downhilling (and lets be honest, there's a good chance of that, it's hardly the safest passtime) you'll be stuffed.
    I went for Dogtag, they were affordable, and their cover was phenomenal.

    Check the smallprint with Dogtag - they have huge excesses for medical expenses (though it may depend on the type of cover you take out).

    We use tagdirect They cover downhill mountain biking in the Alps as an extra (click on mtn biking, 'strenuous terrain')

    Snowcard have very good cover, but are expensive.

    Columbus covers downhill mountain biking, but no personal liability insurance with this.
