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. Their journey, dubbed 'The Skadi Tour' after the Norse goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains, began on January 25th in Terrace, B.C., and concluded on March 6th at Silver Star Resort near Vernon. The tour was designed to promote the Tidbits of Change Foundation, which encourages Canadian youth to collaborate with parents or mentors on community initiatives.
The ambitious project emerged from the Scotts' desire to combine skiing with community engagement. 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 final count to 44 resorts visited within the original 42-day timeframe.
Travelling in a custom-built tiny home by Hummingbird Micro Homes, the duo's expedition gained significant social media attention, particularly their 'Chairlift Chatter' segments featuring local ski legends, which garnered hundreds of thousands of interactions. The tour received support from several sponsors including HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Hummingbird Micro Homes, all of whom have also contributed youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation.
Doug Chimuk, SilverStar Marketing Manager, expressed enthusiasm about hosting the Scotts 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!' This accomplishment represents the first time anyone has visited all of British Columbia's lift-serviced ski resorts within such a condensed timeframe.
