orage does not own siver. Coalision is a conglomerate that owns both Siver and Orage, and another company or two, if they haven't gone out of business yet.

siver didn't 'go under'. Coalision has a boner for Orage, and Orage isn't killing it super hard. Their solution to the problem was to cut the Siver brand, because Siver was blowing up alot and was too much competition for Orage.

Pretty fucking backwards thinking to me.

RIP siver

i think orage makes some sicker stuff then Siver. Their new jackets are better, but i still think they make stuff that looks like it could be bought at walmart.

Siver sold out to the company that owns Orage long ago, even before they got into skiing. Siver's motto used to be for skiboarders by skiboarders. Bet you guys didn't used to know that.

p.s. way to go matt

its too bad for mike nick though. he made a dope company from the ground up, basically coined the term 'rider owned' within the ski industry, and to be shut down for being to successful; the guy deserves alot better than that. coalision just killed a big part newschool skiing's roots. fuck you coalision.

siver started off really basic, with affordable outerwear, and was working its way up. thats why when siver gets its shit in stores it actually sells, and they had experienced great annual growth, and success from the ground up . this years shit is super sick, quality. orage is cool i guess, if you got $400 to drop on a jacket. i don't.

Mike Nick works for Orage now, so he brought Matt over with him. Makes sense.

i heard matt walker is really the lead singer for some local emo band...he colors his hair for every show and shit and doesnt look remotely the same...his stage name is emperor of the world - coincidence? i think not.
