No. Mountains are not ideal for tornado formation, but they do not stop tornadoes. Higher elevations typically have cooler, drier, more stable air, which is not an ideal environment for tornado formation. However, tornadoes can form on mountains. In 2011, a tornado in Glade Spring, Virginia wrecked camp sites on Mt. Rogers at nearly 4,000 feet. An F4 tornado occurred at 10,000 feet in northwest Wyoming on July 21st, 1987. Events like these are uncommon but do occur.
