Anyone inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger to take to the ski slopes of California would be well advised to take out a winter sports insurance policy that covers them against injury in this pursuit.

The state governor and star of the Terminator trilogy has been signed up to promote California's ski resorts, often neglected as a holiday destination by those visiting the state in favour of its more famed beaches.

He appears in a new advert for California's hitherto hidden attraction, appearing on a ski slope kitted out in skiing gear and uttering the line: 'This is winter in California'.

Governor Schwarzenegger commented: 'California's incredible natural beauty, great snow, sunny skies and world-class resorts make it one of the best places in the world to ski.

'I welcome skiers, winter sports enthusiasts and people from across the world to come enjoy our 43,000 acres of premier ski areas, 34 outstanding resorts and experience the amazing hospitality that California has to offer.'

The campaign directs anyone interested in such a holiday to the website visitcalifornianow.com, which contains information about ski resorts and special deals on ski holidays.

Skiing is an exciting pastime, but one that carries a small risk of injury, and it is a good idea for anyone planning on visiting California's slopes to take out a travel insurance policy that covers them against such an unfortunate incident.
