A historical feat that has seen a father-daughter duo visit all 44 lift-serviced ski hills in B.C. in just 42 days culminates in Vernon.

Greg Scott, and his daughter Hali, began the journey in Terrace on Jan. 25 and will conclude the provincial-wide ski tour on Wednesday, March 6 at SilverStar Mountain Resort.

The Skadi Tour came together when the duo were organizing high school visits throughout the province to talk about their Tidbits of Change Foundation bursaries and to encourage Canadian youths to collaborate with a parent or mentor on unique projects of their own.

The effort rapidly garnered attention on as their journey unfolded, with the duo香蕉视频直播檚 unique storytelling, such as Chairlift Chatter with local ski legends or characters at each ski hill.

The two travelled with their own short-term ski home, a custom-built tiny house, by Hummingbird Micro Homes.

Along the way, the adventurers added two surprise ski stops to their original list.

When they descend down the slopes of SilverStar on Wednesday, they will have conquered all 44 lift-serviced ski areas in B.C. in just 42 days. It is believed to be the first time anyone has ever accomplished this feat.

The unique name for The Skadi Tour is a nod to the Norse mythology goddess of snow, skiing, and mountains. The tour was made possible with the support of HEAD skis, Kal Tire, and Hummingbird Micro Homes, who have also added special youth bursaries to the Tidbits of Change Foundation efforts.

The Tidbits of Change Foundation is a volunteer driven not-for-profit organization that helps and encourages Canadian youth and parent/mentor partnerships to develop, contribute and experience community initiatives together. It is centered on the notion that our society benefits when young people collaborate with their mentors. More info: .
