Greg Scott and his daughter Hali have completed an unprecedented skiing achievement by visiting all 44 lift-serviced ski resorts in British Columbia within just 42 days. The father-daughter duo embarked on 'The Skadi Tour' on January 25th in Terrace, B.C., concluding their remarkable journey on March 6th at Silver Star Resort near Vernon. Their accomplishment marks the first time anyone has visited all of British Columbia's ski resorts within such a condensed timeframe.
The tour was conceived as a way to promote the Tidbits of Change Foundation, which encourages Canadian youth to collaborate with parents or mentors on community initiatives. Greg Scott explained their approach: 'We started to look at the possibility of visiting all the ski areas during the day while visiting schools or parent advisory councils in the late afternoons or evenings. When we mapped out that there were 42 ski areas, we came up with the crazy notion to try to ski all of them in 42 days.' Their journey ultimately included two additional ski areas they discovered along the way, bringing their total to 44 resorts visited within the 42-day timeframe.
Travelling in a custom-built tiny home by Hummingbird Micro Homes, the duo's journey quickly gained significant social media traction. Their 'Chairlift Chatter' segments featuring local ski legends garnered hundreds of thousands of interactions, helping to spread awareness about their mission and the foundation they support. The tour, named after the Norse goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains, received support from several corporate partners including HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Hummingbird Micro Homes, who have also contributed youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation.
Doug Chimuk, SilverStar Marketing Manager, expressed excitement about hosting Greg and Hali for the final leg of their historic tour. 'Their passion for skiing is inspiring, and our mountain community is excited to welcome them and share in some of their adventure,' he said. The pair arrived at SilverStar just as the resort reached its 200 cm snowfall mark for the season, providing what Chimuk described as 'perfect conditions to cap this incredible achievement!' The successful completion of The Skadi Tour not only sets a new benchmark in British Columbia skiing but also demonstrates the power of combining athletic achievement with community engagement and youth mentorship.
