Matchstick Productions’ latest film After the Snowfall is a high-octane and heartfelt journey through the culture and chaos of modern skiing.

It feature’s some of skiing’s most iconic locales, including one of CMH’s expert-level destinations, CMH Monashees.

Can you spot the iconic pillow lines of the ‘Mo in the trailer?

The film’s worldwide tour runs October 4- December 21, 2025, with stops across North America and Europe. Be sure to attend the North American leg of the tour in person for a chance to win a heli-skiing trip for two to the Monashees.

Here’s how the film’s creators describe it:

Filmed in stunning locations from the Lyngen Alps of Norway to the heli-accessed steeps of British Columbia, the film showcases an elite crew of skiers, including Michelle Parker, Nikolai Schirmer, Nico Porteous, Caite Zeliff, and more, pushing boundaries with jaw-dropping style and skill.

But this is not just a story about pros. It is about the everyday ski bum, the weekend warrior, and the mountain town lifer whose passion burns just as bright. Interwoven throughout the action are honest and irreverent reflections from both athletes and everyday skiers on what skiing means to them; why they risk injury, chase fleeting storms, and build their lives around snow. The film explores both the literal mountains they climb and the internal terrain they navigate: personal growth, camaraderie, obsession, and joy.

With Matchstick Productions’ signature blend of cinematic artistry and raw stoke, After The Snowfall is a reminder that skiing is more than a sport, it is a way of life. Presented by Toyota and supported by The North Face, Ikon Pass, and Stanley, this film is a tribute to the people, places, and powder turns that make it all worth it.
