After the death of his grandfather, David, the Carver family's prodigal son, returns to Boundary Mountain which is home to the Carvers' ski resort, a lush vacation spot set against the backdrop of extreme sports. Tensions soon rise when it is revealed that David has inherited the ski resort over Will, his business-savy brother. David struggles to figure out how to deal with this situation but things aren't made any easier when he's pressured by Travis, a family friend and a Boundary employee, to sell the resort to the entrepreneurial Dowling family.

Also, Shelly, the youngest Carver and an aspiring snowboardist, once preparing to compete in the Gennie Carver Foundation Invitational, is now trying to deal with the death of her grandfather by pushing away her best friend, Sam.

The Carvers are incensed when they learn that not only is Colin Dowling pilfering employees away from their company, but he's also planning the annual "Boundary Days" festival that the Carver patriarch started. To make a statement, David and Will organize an alternate event for the town with a gigantic beach party at the base of the Mountain. Meanwhile, when David stands Max up, she plots revenge; and Shelly's awkward relationship with Sam worsens because of her new friendship with Michael Dowling.
