Introducing the Steinbach Mountain Skier, the first in our exclusive Steinbach - Mountain Series. This limited-edition nutcracker celebrates the pioneering spirit of early skiers who ventured into the rugged peaks of North America. In the late 19th century, skiing in America was in its infancy. The Norwegian immigrant Martin A. Strand opened the first ski factory in the U.S., igniting a passion for the sport. This paved the way for the development of world-renowned ski destinations like the Rocky Mountains and Aspen. Our Mountain Skier, with his rugged attire and fearless gaze, embodies the spirit of those early explorers who conquered uncharted mountain paths and braved the elements.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Mountain Skier is outfitted in a hand-knitted bobble cap, a thick, fur-trimmed jacket, and sturdy leather boots—perfect for braving the snow-covered terrain. A traditional leather drinking bottle hangs at his side, a symbol of his readiness for any adventure. From his thick scarf that shields him from the biting wind to the detailed skis and poles that accompany him, every aspect of his attire is designed to reflect the functionality and warmth needed to survive in the harshest winter conditions.

Handcrafted in Germany with precision and care, this nutcracker isn’t just a beautiful collector’s item—it’s a tribute to the adventurers who shaped the future of skiing and the spirit of the mountains. Limited to just 2,000 pieces, the Steinbach Mountain Skier brings alpine history to life through exquisite craftsmanship and timeless design.
