NSW: AFP search and rescue experts look for snowboarders

Australian Federal Police specially trained for search and rescue have joined the hunt for
four Sydney snowboarders, missing in Kosciuszko National Park since Sunday.

The Pol-Air helicopter is also being used.

The search for the missing men has resumed in perfect conditions after being suspended
yesterday when low cloud, high winds and snow reduced visibility.

The snowboarders, all in their early 20s from suburban Frenchs Forest, were headed for Lake
Albina, a 10km overland trip passing the base of Mt Kosciuszko.

They were due home on Monday from their three-day trip.
