A lighthearted family comedy about a New York family's earnest effort to restore a dilapidated ski resort in the Rockies, driven by warmth, humor, and the bonds of working together toward a common goal.

When John Baxter inherits a ski resort in the Rocky Mountains, he quits his job in New York and moves the family west to run it. Only to find that the place is a wreck. But together they decide to try to fix it up and run it. But Martin Ridgeway, who wants the property, does everything he can to ensure it will fail.
