Avalanche Canada is hosting a special screening of The Way Out, the latest ski film from Matchstick Productions. Known for their breathtaking cinematography, cutting-edge riding, and legendary storytelling, Matchstick’s 2026 release promises to deliver high-octane action, deep snow, and unforgettable moments from the world’s best skiers.
This screening is presented by Cohaesive Garment Technology. Their support is what makes the evening possible, and the first 100 guests through the door will receive a Cohaesive garment repair kit.
Thank you to House of Lager for donating their space for the night.
Matchstick Productions returns with their 34th annual ski film, The Way Out, a raw tribute to the timeless culture and lifestyle of skiing. It drops 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. Much of it was shot close to home. Whistler, the CMH Monashees Lodge, Mike Wiegele Heli-Skiing, and Northern Escape out of Terrace all feature in the film.
