In Johnny's new town, there are two schools: one is a private school where the students are all skiers, and the other is the public school... where all the students are snowboarders. Although Johnny goes to the skiers' school, he would prefer to snowboard because he thinks it is more like surfing.

While at his new school, Johnny meets a girl named Emily , with whom he becomes good friends. However, a skier named Brett likes Emily as well.
