University of Montana entrepreneurs make good on ski wear venture – Saga Outerwear

The sticker on his straight-brimmed cap glinted in the lamplight as Jordan Harper shrugged disapprovingly at the notion of having to “tone down” an entirely purple skiing get-up. He stood tall over a round table completely covered with jackets, pants, scrapbooks and fabric samples, defending the bright and baggy styles splayed before him.

“One man’s crazy is another man’s delight,” said Harper, a senior media arts major at UM.

Harper is a contributing designer of the suit in question and is one of four past and present University of Montana students involved in Saga Outerwear http://www.sagaouterwear.com/ , a Missoula-based business entering its fourth year. The company, which was featured as an editor’s choice in this month’s edition of Freeskier Magazine, began as a project in an entrepreneurship course in the Gallagher School of Business Administration http://www.business.umt.edu/ in 2004.
