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.

The Way Out drops you right into the action across the globe, from heavy Alaskan spine lines to local backyard laps in Whistler. The Way Out represents a path toward total freedom. Whether tracking Hoji, Chris Rubens, and Mark Abma across the iconic Swiss Alps or capturing breakout skier Lucy Leishman storming through Japan’s deep powder with three legendary freeskiers, the verdict is simple: the soul of skiing isn’t dead; it's alive and well wherever the snow is falling.
