Speaking after the inquest, Carwyn's godmother Lucy England said: "Our lives were torn apart by the death of Carwyn in an accident that should never have happened.
"We as a family are still coming to terms with that day... a huge hole has been left in our lives."
The coroner said Carwyn was a very experienced skier for his age.
But he became separated from his family on the final run of their week-long trip to Flaine.
His mother, Ceri Scott-Howell, had stopped to help his nine-year-old sister, Antonia, when she lost a ski.
Having initially stopped, he then skied on and became lost off-piste, the inquest heard.
In trying to return on foot, it is believed he started to slide down the mountain and fell over a cliff. His body was found on a ledge 50 metres (160ft) below.
