An unnamed British doctor, 40, died yesterday while snowboarding in the French Alps.
The unnamed man was snowboarding with a friend above the hamlet of Joseray, situated about 500 yards from the centre of Val d’Isere – and went off-piste a few yards from last weekend’s downhill skiing world cup route.
The man, who was on a four-day seminar held at Val d’Isere’s congress centre, organised by doctorsupdate.com, took a corridor never used by locals or off-piste guides and fell onto rocks, according to local radio reports.
He is believed to be the father of two children.
