The Way Out

Matchstick Productions presents The Way Out October 15th, 2026 at 730pm Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center Jeanné Wagner Theatre Salt Lake City, UT 84101 On sale: 8/18/26 at 10am Matchstick Productions returns with their 34th annual ski film, The Way Out, an action-packed tribute to the culture and lifestyle of skiing. What makes skiing special goes far beyond the fleeting thrill of dropping into a line. It’s the deep, elemental relationship with nature that sets mountain culture apart from any traditional activity. For skiers, this isn’t just a sport; we live to ski, and ski to live. 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.
