The show begins when Beck McKaye (Paetkau of Final Destination 2) returns home from the 2006 Winter Olympics with a gold medal. Upon his death, the show explores the lives of his friends and family - all of whom have stories to tell and secrets to keep.

The secret-keeping locals are the only ones who can answer the terrifying truth of the show's tagline, "What secrets lie beneath the snow?" McKaye's friends and family each have their own stories, as well as secrets they attempt to hide as the show progresses. In particular, Beck's brother Quinn (Moss) must try to solve the mystery of Beck's death.

Whistler is the co-host for the 2010 Winter Olympics (along with Vancouver), and for this reason, CTV, the network in possession of the broadcast rights to the 2010 Olympics, specifically asked that this series be set in Whistler. Several members of Canada's male snowboarding team come from Whistler - thus the obvious tie-in to the show.

Although some of the outdoor shots used in the series were filmed in and around Whistler, most of the outdoor (and all of the indoor) scenes were filmed at Uphill Studios in Langley, B.C., about 45 km (27 mi) southeast of Vancouver. All of the post-production was done in Vancouver by Uphill Productions.

Currently, a lawsuit has been filed against CTV by Olympic snowboarder Ross Rebagliati, accusing the network of "misappropriating" his identity with Whistler's main character Beck McKaye. The suit has not yet been heard by the British Columbia Supreme Court.
