Greg Scott and his daughter Hali have completed a historic ski adventure across Saskatchewan, visiting all 11 lift-serviced ski areas in the province in just 10 days. This achievement marks the latest leg of their Western Canada tour under the banner The Skadi Tour, named after the Norse mythology goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains. The pair has now skied every lift-serviced ski area in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, totaling 94 ski areas across the three provinces.
The Saskatchewan portion of their journey began and ended at Table Mountain Ski Resort, with the duo zigzagging across the province to visit every ski area. During their travels, they met local ski legends and shared stories through their social media presence, generating significant attention with more than 3.5 million interactions on Instagram through their "Chairlift Chatter" series featuring local ski personalities at each hill.
The importance of this achievement extends beyond the athletic accomplishment to its broader social impact. The tour serves as a platform for promoting youth mentorship and community engagement through the Tidbits of Change Foundation, which awards $5,000 and $1,000 youth bursaries annually to Canadian youth who complete initiatives in collaboration with a parent or mentor.

"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 concept for the tour emerged two years ago while Scott and his daughter were organizing school visits across British Columbia to promote the foundation's youth bursaries and encourage Canadian youth to collaborate with parents or mentors on meaningful projects.
The impact of this tour lies in its demonstration of intergenerational collaboration and its potential to inspire similar initiatives across Canada. By completing what they believe to be the first single-winter ski tour of all British Columbia ski areas in 42 days, followed by their Alberta and Saskatchewan accomplishments, the father-daughter team has created a tangible example of how mentorship-driven projects can achieve ambitious goals while strengthening community connections.
The tour has drawn support from corporate partners including HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Descente, who have added special youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation efforts. This corporate involvement highlights how private sector support can amplify community-focused initiatives and create additional opportunities for youth engagement. The foundation itself is a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organization based on the belief that mentorship-driven collaboration benefits young people and strengthens communities, particularly when those efforts create positive impact or inspire others.
As the tour continues to gain attention through media coverage and social media engagement, its significance extends beyond the ski community to demonstrate how shared experiences between generations can foster personal growth, community connection, and meaningful social impact. The completion of the Saskatchewan leg represents not just a geographical accomplishment but a milestone in promoting collaborative, intergenerational projects that benefit both participants and their communities.
