Take a closer look at that second line of copy. Why is there no capital letter at the start of the sentence? They must have filled their capital quota with "Travel  Insurance".

Buy 17 days' wintersports, surely (missing apostrophe).

Although I can sort of understand the impulse to put an apostrophe in 'skis'; I always want to read it so it rhymes with 'his'.
