Urged by his mother, Quinn, who has been away at school solely to escape all the bad things that have happened in Whistler, decides at the last minute to return for the ceremony. However, it is just as much to reconnect with Carrie, recently moved out with a roommate named Leah, to see if there is still romantic feelings between the two of them, despite all those issues. Quinn's return may be marred by Travis Hollier, the ...

Quinn makes the decision to stay in Whistler to try out for the Village snowboard team, both to find his place in the world and to continue his relationship with Carrie following their night together. Beyond Jen's initial opposition in her want for Quinn to be the first McKaye to finish school, Quinn has a few obstacles in achieving all these goals. First, he, who has not competed in years, has placed much pressure on himself in following both his father and brother's footsteps, the McKaye name which will not automatically give him one of the spots. And second, he ...

Quinn and rest of the freshman members of the Village snowboarding team are enduring the one week hazing ritual, kindly referred to as "hell week".

Jen and Derek have to figure out how best to deal with their sexual liaison now that Quinn is living at home.

The annual skiers versus snowboarders floor hockey game is upcoming. Because of things going on between Griff and Carrie, and Quinn still hoping that he and Carrie will get back together, Griff eventually finds out that Carrie slept with Quinn upon his arrival back in Whistler. The three will find out if they can resolve their romantic triangle while still maintaining, if not friendship, at least harmony in time for Griff and Quinn to work as a team against the skiers. Now that Quinn knows, the next hurdle for Jen seemingly to overcome in her relationship with Derek ...

Now that Carrie has chosen Griff over Quinn, Leah encourages Quinn to get back into the dating scene solely to get over his sexless slump. The time is ripe now that the "snowboard bunnies" are hanging around the gym as the snowboarders train. Leah can't help but provide greater advice than getting his feet wet again. Jen can see that Ryan has some money problems, and provides a helping hand in the hopes that he will not turn to gambling as he has done in the past. Ryan may not want to admit to himself how much of a problem he has. Despite promising Nicole that he ...

The Coach's upcoming wedding, which is being held at the tavern, makes the perfect setting for people to think about relationships. Even though they both stated that it was a one time only thing, Leah, the queen of meaningless sex, contemplates telling Quinn that she wants their one sexual encounter thus far to be more than that. Jen's relationship with Derek hits another possible bump in the road with the short term arrival back in town of Peter Varland, Adrien's polar opposite brother, who was once the love of Jen's life and for who she was going to leave Ethan, ...

Jen and Derek decide to go for a romantic getaway, but Jen can't help but still think about Peter. Meanwhile, it's close to a year that Beck died, and Quinn has his brother on his mind, still feeling like he is living in Beck's shadow in almost every perspective: in his mother's eyes, with Carrie, and with snowboarding. Partly because of Beck, Travis challenges both Quinn and Griff to a run down the out-of-bounds "The Drop". The trio gets into one Murphy's Law situation after another, which threatens one, two or all three making it out of the back country alive. The ...

Quinn is feeling a new joie de vivre after he and Travis are saved from their back country near death experience. In the process, he makes some reckless decisions. Spending some time with Travis in the hospital may give him a clearer perspective. With Derek becoming a bigger and bigger part of her life and being sweet and kind toward her in whatever he does, Jen struggles with whether she should tell him about her kiss with Peter, especially as she will not yet admit to herself what that kiss meant. Rumors abound at the resort that Adrien's attention toward Carrie is ...

Reeling from the news that Adrien is her biological father, Carrie is wallowing in self-pity. She can't turn to Griff in the knowledge that Adrien only gave him the sponsorship deal because of her, and since Griff is preoccupied with a visit from his judgmental father. And it doesn't help her knowing that Nicole knew about Adrien but didn't tell her. As such, Carrie turns to Quinn for support. Not knowing why she's in a funk, Leah, to get her out of that funk, signs Carrie up for a local short film competition, which has the stipulations of filming within a certain ...

Quinn, Griff, Carrie and Leah have a road trip planned to Mount Baker in Washington State for a halfpipe competition.

He demonstrates those feelings in an unusual and unexpected way. Quinn and Leah are moving at different speeds in their relationship, the one who feels neglected falling into the arms of another for a sense of comfort. Although stating outwardly that she can handle it, Carrie is still uncomfortable...
