PLOT.

David Carver Jr., an irresponsible, un-kept young man, returns to his family owned ski resort in Colorado after the death of his grandfather to find that he, the youngest son, has inherited the entire mountain which puts him at odds with his older brother Will, the resort manager, who’s holding out against being bought out by Colin Dowling, a scheming land developer. 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, whom is under the control of Dowling and his son Michael; and the Downling’s attractive daughter Maxine ‘Max’ whom falls for David while trying to get him to sell the mountain to her father.
