<p>An experienced British skier has died after being buried by an avalanche in the French Alps, it has been confirmed.</p>
<p>David Robinson and his wife Chrissy were skiing with friends in the resort of Val D&#8217;Isere on Boxing Day when they were trapped.</p>
<p>His wife, from Hamble, near Southampton, managed to inflate a safety airbag to enable rescuers to locate her position in the Combe du Signal.</p>
<p>But Mr Robinson, 67, was unable to do the same and he was found due to a transceiver device which emits a pulse signal before being airlifted to hospital in Grenoble.</p>
<p>Their ski guide, Wayne Watson, said Mr Robinson, a former Olympic sailing coach who had retired from his sail-making company, died on Monday with his wife and best friend by his side.</p>
<p>Speaking from Val D&#8217;Isere, Canadian Mr Watson &#8211; who had known Mr Robinson for more than 10 years &#8211; said it was a &#8220;tragic accident&#8221;.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I was out with six clients who all had beepers and all had airbags with them. They were regular clients who knew the business well.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was one of those things. I have been doing this for about 30 years and we ski off piste seven days a week. There are times when the mountains just let go. It was a tragic accident. We try our best to keep people safe.</p>
<p>&#8220;David was a great guy. I had known him for at least 10 years. He will be sadly missed. It was just dreadful.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added that Mr Robinson&#8217;s wife had shown &#8220;amazing&#8221; strength and last night toasted his life with his favourite wines. She will be staying in France to finalise arrangements for her husband&#8217;s body to be returned to the UK, he added.</p>
