SSX follows the lives of pro snowboarders who attended Aspen Park High School. The show later focuses on Team SSX (Snowboarding, Surfing, Motocross) led by Zoe Payne, aiming to conquer the world's nine deadliest descents for fame and funds, but they're challenged by their former member, Griff Simmons, who wants to claim them all for himself, turning it into a global race for glory with survival elements like avalanches and extreme conditions.
