He says "Otway is a home for myself and my family and it has grown into a World Class facility that supports athletes and programs and hosts many provincial, national and international events.”
He explains that for decades people had been skiing in and around the city, which hosted several compitions between 1966 and 1981 but there was a demand for Nordic Skiing a little closer to home.The facility opened for the 1984-85 season and at the time boasted 4km of trails, a two story cabin, a biathalong range and 250 members.Otway now has 60 km of ski and dog trails, 15 kilomoteres of snowshoe trails, thousands of members and hundreds of drop-ins.
“Everyone from seniors to families to students, some veterans and some trying things out for the first time, and everything in between,” said Fiala.
