Our Purpose

Born in the mountains, we’ve spent over three decades pushing the boundaries of ski wear—blending style, performance, and innovation to create gear that doesn’t just meet expectations but defies them. We believe ski apparel should do more than perform; it should inspire. That’s why our team of designers and engineers relentlessly fuse cutting-edge fabric technology with modern, sleek design. From our signature DERMIZAX® waterproof jackets to our revolutionary Gilltek insulation, every piece is built to protect you from the elements—and make you feel unstoppable in them. We’re not just keeping you warm. We’re keeping you ahead of the cold.

Our roots

In 1989, University of Quebec student Evelyn Trempe crafted her first waterproof ski jacket and one-of-a-kind ski pants for the university ski team in her parent’s garage. An uneven ping pong table served as a desk. The basement was a warehouse. The “Legendary Orage Patch Pant” paired her passion for skiing with her love of fashion. Alongside Eric D’Anjou, the burgeoning seamstress sold Orage ski gear out of a car trunk from Bromont to Mont-Tremblant to Saint-Sauveur. Like all great innovative products close to the source, momentum behind the brand built as quickly as a Nor’Easter storm.

The world was feverish for freeskiing, and the pulse was strongest in Quebec. This new event threw all the rules out, focusing on spirit before score. The skiers decided who won. The crowd supplied the soundtrack, raucous boos and supportive cheers alike. Like Orage and its increasingly technical, stylish outerwear, the only constant was change. Forward. Walsy forward. Decades later, Orage continues to lead a faction of skiers who care less for fashion while still seeking style. They aspire for smoothness over spins. Skiing remains an opportunity for expression for the Orage skier. The rest follows in a contrail of fine Le Massif powder. Today, the movement is led by Orage’s original founder and run by skiers and creatives alike.

We can always do better,
and we intend to.

It’s an ongoing journey that is both perpetual and aspirational. We build a better product so that skiers do not need to re-up the gear every year. We continue to source better material in the hopes that the tracks we leave behind can disappear into the slope like we never were there in the first place. We invite our customers to learn more, keep asking the hard questions, and hold us to the task at hand. Because sustainability never ends. It only evolves.
