Episode 1
The premiere of The Mountains started with the regular David Thompson Secondary School grade 10 students' auditions to join the enriched students to the Cariboo Regional District. 31 contestants were chosen through a deliberation of each student's intelligence, effort, participation, and attitude. Despite Sofia's passion, and both Maggie and Daniel's participation and above average marks, they surprisingly failed to land any spots. On the other hand, after Monika was selected, she began having doubts on whether or not she actually wanted to go. But before the rest could celebrate, they were surprised to find out that 14 of the finalists would be cut from the competition before the actual trip.

The semi-finalists were immediately sent to their first challenge, which was to complete the applications and receive permission of all their teachers on time. With several of the semi-finalists either not completing their applications on time or quitting the competition, the pool of students was finally reduced to the 17 who would join the enriched students for the rest of the competition: Alan, Allan, Christopher, Jason, Jeanette, Jessica, Julio, Kevin, Khanh, Kimberly, Lily, Mandeep, Monika, Santiago, Sophia, Tyler, and Zeki.

In the 2nd part of the premiere, before the 17 finalists can leave for Wells, they prepare by forming their groups and packing their belongings.
