Greg Scott and his daughter Hali have made skiing history by visiting all 44 lift-serviced ski resorts in British Columbia during a 42-day journey that began on January 25th in Terrace and concluded on March 6th at Silver Star Resort near Vernon. Their unprecedented accomplishment, known as 'The Skadi Tour,' was originally planned to cover 42 resorts in 42 days but expanded when they discovered two additional ski areas during their travels.
The tour was designed 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.'
Travelling in a custom-built tiny home by Hummingbird Micro Homes, the duo's journey gained significant attention through social media, with their 'Chairlift Chatter' segments featuring local ski legends generating hundreds of thousands of interactions. Their ability to visit all 44 resorts within the 42-day timeframe represents a first-ever achievement in British Columbia's skiing history.
Doug Chimuk, SilverStar Marketing Manager, expressed enthusiasm 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 Skadi Tour, named after the Norse goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains, received support from several sponsors including HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Hummingbird Micro Homes, who have also contributed youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation. This historic journey not only demonstrates remarkable athletic achievement but also serves as a powerful platform for promoting youth mentorship and community engagement across British Columbia's diverse ski communities.
