A NEW SKI FILM FROM MATCHSTICK PRODUCTIONS
The Way Out (2026)
Matchstick Productions returns with their 34th annual ski film, The Way Out, a raw tribute to the timeless culture and lifestyle of skiing. Dropping you straight into heavy Alaskan spine lines, deep Japanese powder, and iconic Swiss villages. This film shows skiing as far more than a sport; it’s a path toward total freedom. From legendary veterans to rising breakout talent, the message is simple: the soul of skiing isn’t dead; it’s waiting wherever snow falls.
