Greg Scott and his daughter Hali have completed a historic ski adventure across Saskatchewan, visiting all 11 lift-serviced ski areas in the province within just 10 days. This achievement marks the completion of their Western Canada tour under The Skadi Tour banner, having previously skied all 44 lift-serviced areas in British Columbia and all 39 in Alberta. The Saskatchewan leg began and ended at Table Mountain Ski Resort, with the pair zigzagging across the province to visit every ski area.
The tour originated two years ago while Scott and his daughter were organizing school visits across British Columbia to promote the Tidbits of Change Foundation youth bursaries. During this time, they decided to ski every ski area in the province and became the first people to accomplish this feat 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."
A central goal of The Skadi Tour is to inspire Canadian 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 young Canadians who complete community-focused projects in collaboration with a parent or mentor. Examples of past recipients and submission details are available at https://tidbitsofchange.org.
The Western Canada tour has generated significant social media attention, with more than 3.5 million interactions on Instagram through their "Chairlift Chatter" series featuring local ski personalities at each hill. The unique name for The Skadi Tour references the Norse mythology goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains. The tour received support from HEAD skis, Kal-Tire, and Descente, who have added special youth bursaries to the foundation's efforts.
The Tidbits of Change Foundation is a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organization that encourages Canadian youth to collaborate with parents or mentors on community-focused initiatives. The foundation operates on the belief that mentorship-driven collaboration benefits young people and strengthens communities, particularly when those efforts create positive impact or inspire others.

This achievement demonstrates how personal adventures can be leveraged to promote meaningful social causes. By combining their passion for skiing with their commitment to youth mentorship, Scott and his daughter have created a model for how recreational activities can serve as platforms for community engagement and youth development. The tour's success highlights the importance of intergenerational collaboration and the potential for outdoor activities to foster stronger community connections while supporting youth initiatives across Canada.
