The Story of the Shape
At Rabbit on the Roof, shape lies at the heart of our craft. Each season, we refine the geometry of our skis to deliver a ride that is increasingly intuitive, precise, and engaging. It is a continuous quest for balance — between the artisan’s intuition and the demands of the mountains.
Since the very first models crafted in the Montreuil workshop, Peter Steltzner has evolved the shape of his skis using the same approach: observe, test, refine.
“Here, at the heart of the mountains, everything makes sense: the wood, the gesture, the art, and the glide…”
Over the years, shapes have opened, rockers have become more progressive, and sidecut radius optimized to provide a smooth, stable, and powerful ride. Each waist width finds its balance between versatility, float, and control.
Every model reflects this evolution — from versatile all-mountain skis with refined lines to wide freeride shapes designed to float effortlessly in powder.
The result: skis whose character evolves subtly, while their DNA remains unchanged — performance, aesthetics, and sensation.
Each Rabbit shape is conceived as a direct response to the skier’s needs, style, and terrain. A controlled evolution, designed not to follow trends but to elevate the skiing experience
In 2016, a fire devastated the mill, destroying the living quarters, the workshop, tools, artworks, and carefully selected wood. But the Chamonix community rallied together Thanks to their support, Peter and Anati saved what mattered most, inspiration, and rebuilt. The adventure continued with even greater determination and purpose.
Today, Rabbit on the Roof is far more than a ski manufacturer: it is a workshop where art meets the mountains, where every ski is conceived as a unique piece, crafted to allow each skier to draw their own line on the snow.
A place founded on the belief that skiing is a free, instinctive movement — and that a ski can be both a high-performance tool and an object of emotion.
