Re: <u>Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to 4,431,792 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of MNTN, Inc.</u> 

To the addressees set forth above:

We have acted as special counsel to MNTN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), in connection with the proposed issuance by the Company of up to 4,431,792 shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "***Class A Common Stock***"), comprised of up to 3,693,160 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "***Plan Shares***") issuable under the Company's 2025 Incentive Award Plan (the "***2025 Plan***") and up to 738,632 shares of Common Stock (the "***ESPP Shares***" and, together with the Plan Shares, the "***Shares***") issuable under the Company's 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "***ESPP***"). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Act***"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") on February 18, 2026, (the "***Registration Statement***"). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or prospectuses forming a part thereof, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter.

We are opining herein only as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "***DGCL***"), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the recipients thereof, and have been issued by the Company for

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the DGCL.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
