it's home.The Mountain chronicles the larger than life saga of the Carver Clan, whose colorful grandfather, David Carver Sr,
founded the town and its internationally famous ski resort after winning the land in a poker game. Then he dies unexpectedly,
and his choice of heir sends shock waves through the community. Free-spirited David Carver Jr. (Oliver Hudson) left home years
ago to pursue a dream of professional motorcross racing, while his older brother Will (Anson Mount) diligently attended business
school with every expectation of taking over the family empire. No one, least of all the brothers themselves, expected David
to inherit the mountain.
Now David finds himself saddled with responsibility he never wanted and a brother who rightly feels betrayed. On top
of this, he is torn between two women and suddenly immersed in a power struggle with a neighboring family David just wants
to run, until he relaizes his grandfather may have had bigger things in mind. Through the episodes to come, David will begin
to reconnect to his mother Gennie (Barbara Hershey) and teenage sister Shelly (Tara Thompson) and he will uncover long buried
