A father-daughter duo from British Columbia has accomplished an unprecedented feat by visiting all 44 lift-serviced ski resorts in the province in just 42 days. Greg Scott and his daughter Hali 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. 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.
'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,' explained Greg Scott. '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.' Travelling in a custom-built tiny home by Hummingbird Micro Homes, the duo's journey quickly gained traction on social media, with their 'Chairlift Chatter' segments featuring local ski legends garnering hundreds of thousands of interactions.
Along the way, they discovered two additional ski areas, bringing their total to 44 resorts visited within the 42-day timeframe - a first-ever accomplishment in British Columbia. Doug Chimuk, SilverStar Marketing Manager, expressed excitement at 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 'perfect conditions to cap this incredible achievement!' The Skadi Tour, named after the Norse goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains, was made possible with support from HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Hummingbird Micro Homes, who have also contributed youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation. This achievement not only sets a new benchmark in British Columbia skiing but also demonstrates the power of intergenerational collaboration in promoting community engagement among youth.
