Julie Pomagalski, 40, was swept away while skiing off-piste on a mountain in Switzerland.

Julie Pomagalski, France's former world champion snowboarder, has been killed in an avalanche in Switzerland, the French Olympic Committee has announced.

She took the World Cup title for the discipline in 2004 and registered nine wins on the World Cup circuit. In 2002 she competed in the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and four years later in the Turin Games. Police said the avalanche struck on Tuesday as the group was descending from the Gemsstock mountain. The 2,961m summit is popular with off-piste skiers because of its steep slopes and powder snow.
