Greg Scott and his daughter Hali have completed a historic ski adventure, visiting all 11 lift-serviced ski areas in Saskatchewan in just 10 days. This achievement marks the latest leg of their Western Canada tour, which has already seen them ski every lift-serviced area in British Columbia and Alberta. The pair began and ended their Saskatchewan journey at Table Mountain Ski Resort, traveling across the province to visit each ski area. Their accomplishment demonstrates how shared experiences between generations can create lasting memories while promoting community engagement and youth development.
The Skadi Tour, named after the Norse mythology goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains, has drawn significant attention on social media, generating more than 3.5 million interactions on Instagram. During their travels, Scott and his daughter met local ski legends and shared their stories through their "Chairlift Chatter" series featuring personalities from each hill. Their social media presence has helped document their journey and connect with ski communities across the provinces. The journey through Saskatchewan's ski areas highlights the province's winter sports infrastructure and the passionate communities that sustain it.
A central goal of the project is to inspire youth to pursue their own initiatives with the support of a parent or mentor. The Tidbits of Change Foundation awards $5,000 and $1,000 youth bursaries annually to Canadian youth who complete initiatives in collaboration with a parent or mentor. Examples of past recipients and submission details are available at https://tidbitsofchange.org. "We're excited to hear the stories submitted for our youth bursaries this year," Scott said. The concept for the tour emerged two years ago while Scott and his daughter were organizing school visits across B.C. to promote youth bursaries and encourage Canadian youth to collaborate with parents or mentors on meaningful projects.
They decided to ski every ski area in the province and became the first people to do so in a single winter, completing the B.C. tour in 42 days. "Our whole adventure has been incredibly rewarding," said Scott. "It's the combination of strong ski communities and the inspiring people who make each area special." The tour was made possible with support from HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Descente, who have added special youth bursaries to the foundation's efforts. This initiative matters because it showcases how intergenerational collaboration can foster community connections while promoting youth development through tangible support systems that recognize and reward meaningful projects.
