Emergency services have resumed a search this morning for a missing back-country skier in Kosciuszko National Park.  

The 23-year-old man from the ACT last made contact with family members on Saturday morning, when he parked his car at Guthega at 10am.

Commander of Monaro Police Superintendent John Klepczarek said a search began on Sunday after his family contacted police and will continue this morning.

"He is experienced and has stayed overnight before," he said.

"But since he hadn't contacted the family late yesterday, they did raise the alarm with police."

Police began a fresh round of searching at 7am with the assistance of SES and officers from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Aerial support is also expected later this morning. 

"We have the family at the scene who have been very supporting and assisting emergency services," Superintendent Klepczarek said.

"We're hoping he's close by, maybe bunkered down but hopefully this morning we'll have some good news."
