Whistler

"Whistler" focuses on the interrelationships primarily between three families - the McKayes, the Varlands and the Millers - longtime residents of the mountain resort town of Whistler, with some secrets coming to the surface which affect those relationships. The McKayes are a working class snowboarding family who own a local tavern. Father Ethan, once a world ranked snowboarder in his younger days, blames everything bad in their lives on the Varlands. Oldest son Beck MacKaye is the snowboarding hotshot, while younger son Quinn McKaye, despite loving his brother, is often the neglected one in Beck's shadows. Ethan's younger brother Ryan McKaye is seen as the black sheep of the family, partly because he happily works for the Varlands, cleaning up their messes. The wealthy Varlands own a number of businesses globally, the most prominent local one being the upscale Varland Resort. Adrien Varland places the financial bottom line over everything else, including his family. The working class Miller sisters, who just lost their mother to cancer and whose father has long been out of their lives, are primarily linked to the McKayes through past and current romantic relationships. Whistler gets turned upside down when Beck wins a gold medal at the 2006 Olympics, and as he contemplates how to capitalize on his new celebrity, is found dead two weeks later at the bottom of a snowboard run in Whistler. A mystery surfaces when the McKayes believe, against the coroner's report, that Beck was murdered, and was placed on the hill post-mortem, Quinn and Ryan in particular who place their energies in finding out if that was indeed the case, why he was killed, and who the culprit is.

Homecoming

44 mins

It's the start of the next winter tourist season in Whistler. A dedication ceremony for a new training facility named after Beck is taking place. 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 arrogant and condescending hotshot snowboarder who is seen as Beck's heir apparent, and by what Carrie may have to say about their relationship. Ryan, who has been working as a back-country adventure guide since being fired by Adrien, has laid low also to escape from his previous life. He reemerges for the ceremony. His reunion with Nicole may be strained if only because she has decided not only to remain working for Varland, but to take Ryan's former position as head of guest relations. Ryan may not be as happy as he tries to appear to family and friends. With both Ryan and Quinn gone and Ethan's accidental death, Jen has taken in a boarder named Derek, a Whistler police officer. In his spare time, Derek has been helping her with last minute arrangements to reopen the new, improved tavern, to coincide with Beck's dedication ceremony. Derek's time with Jen may be compromised with news he learns about Ethan. And with Shelby charged with Beck's death, Adrien's role in the cover-up and AJ's suicide over the matter, the Varland name has taken a beating publicly. As such, Adrien is facing difficulties getting any financing to battle Melina's hostile takeover bid. He may have to resort to accepting the one offer he didn't know was coming and the one which has some personal strings attached. With AJ dead, he also has Carrie on his mind, after the news from Nicole that she is his daughter.
