David Carver Jr., an irresponsible, unkempt young man, returns to his family-owned ski resort in Colorado after his grandfather's death to find that he, the youngest son, has inherited the entire mountain. This puts him at odds with his older brother Will, the resort manager, who's holding out against being bought out by scheming land developer Colin Dowling. Other characters involved in the power struggle are David and Will's youngest sister Shelley, a local teen wanting to make it big as a champion snowboarder; Maria Serrano, David's former girlfriend, now Will's girlfriend; the double-dealing resort operator Travis, who is under the control of Dowling and his son Michael; and the elder Dowling's attractive daughter Maxine ("Max"), who falls for David while trying to get him to sell the mountain to her father.
