Snowy River Shire is a Local Government Area (LGA) in the Australian Alps region of New South Wales, Australia. It was named after the Snowy River that runs through it. The administrative centre of the Shire is the town of Berridale, with the sub-alpine town of Jindabyne providing the main commercial centre for the southern Snowy Mountains resort area. The town of Adaminaby is the service centre for the northern snowfields resorts and the starting point for most trout fishers eager to test their skills in the rivers and streams or the enormous expanse of Lake Eucumbene. It also includes the village of Dalgety, Anglers Reach, the ghost town of Kiandra, and the ski resorts of Thredbo, Perisher Blue, Smiggin Holes, Guthega, and Blue Cow.
