A mountain will not be affected much by a hurricane, if at all. However, if a hurricane moves over land, and especially mountains it will rapidly weaken.

What happens when a hurricane encounters mountain range?

No, not really. Most mountains lie further inland, and when hurricanes make landfall, they generally lose strength and fall apart. While some of the affects of a hurricane may be felt on the leeside of a mountain, the hurricane itself would not generally actually make it to the mountains. This is intended of course in mainland type situations. On islands such as those in the Caribbean where there are smaller mountains, many people will evacuate coastal areas to seek shelter higher up the mountains where it is safer to wait out the storm.
