Four hundred athletes took part in the 1985 Winter Games with competitions including figure skating, alpine skiing, cross country skiing and speed skating. Within the first couple of years with the Winter Games, there was much experimentation. Figure skating and alpine skiing were the only two sports which were included in every winter game. Masters ice hockey, youth ice hockey, speed skating, ski orienteering, snowboarding, sled dog racing, and cross country skiing were added into the competitions as the Winter Games became more successful.

History
The Bay State Games was founded by Dave McGillvary in 1982. McGillvary was on the Governor’s Council of Physical Fitness and Sports. He wanted to create a state-wide summer sports festival for Massachusetts. McGillvary appointed Doug Arnot to pitch the idea of “Sportsfest” to the commonwealth of Massachusetts and to become the executive director. “Sportsfest” started off with only four sports with 500 athletes. The games were conducted on hardwood floors and playing fields at UMass Boston.The Games’ breakthrough year came in 1985. Basketball became the Game’s showcase event in both women and men’s divisions. That same year, Arnot developed the idea of creating a winter sports festival for Massachusetts athletes. The Winter Games took place in the Northern Berkshire region because of the facilities available to them. Four hundred athletes took part in the 1985 Winter Games with competitions including figure skating, alpine skiing, cross country skiing and speed skating. Within the first couple of years with the Winter Games, there was much experimentation. Figure skating and alpine skiing were the only two sports which were included in every winter game. Masters ice hockey, youth ice hockey, speed skating, ski orienteering, snowboarding, sled dog racing, and cross country skiing were added into the competitions as the Winter Games became more successful.
