Rabbit on the Roof Handmade Skis: A Visit with Chamonix's Maestro of Wood - SnowBrains
"The skis are beautiful, unique, and spectacular, with no two alike, yet all born of wood. Hues from blonde to walnut were all in attendance."
"No color touched these skis that did not come from nature; there were no vibrant orange or turquoise top sheets, no images of mountain peaks or animalistic visages."
"Peter Steltzner, the 'Maestro of Mahogany,' has lived in Chamonix for thirty years, embodying a passion for ski-making that blends functionality with artistic expression."
"The bindings struck a strange chord; their metal mechanisms clashed with the beauty of the grain, their sheen looking foreign against nature's patterns."
Peter Steltzner's workshop, Rabbit on the Roof, produces unique skis crafted from solid ash cores, showcasing the natural beauty of wood. Each ski is distinct, with colors ranging from blonde to walnut, reflecting a commitment to natural aesthetics. The skis lack artificial colors or designs, resembling traditional craftsmanship enhanced by modern design principles. Peter, an American artisan living in Chamonix, France, embodies a passion for ski-making, blending functionality with artistic expression in every piece he creates.
