The Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum presents, Celebrating 60 Years of Stratton Photography with Hubert Schriebl, Thursday, March 13th at 6:30 PM, as part of the Red Bench Speaker Series.
Born in Austria, Hubert Schriebl was a ski and mountain guide working for the Austrian Alpine Club before he was hired by fellow Austrian Emo Henrich to teach at the Stratton Ski School. Arriving in Vermont on Christmas Eve of 1964, Hubert immediately embraced the Green Mountain State as his home. It wasn’t long before his talent for photography was recognized, and in 1968, he became Stratton’s official photographer.
Hubert’s work at Stratton spans six decades, chronicling the mountain’s transformation from a burgeoning ski destination into a world-class resort. Through his lens, he has documented not only the ski industry’s growth but also the vibrant spirit of the community, from iconic winter sports moments to the everyday charm of mountain life. His work has been featured in numerous publications including, SKI, Skiing, GEO, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Vermont Life, and Stratton Magazine.
In 2009, the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum recognized Hubert’s outstanding contributions to the ski industry with the Paul Robbins Journalism Award.
Making the trip from Southern Vermont, Hubert will join us on the Red Bench. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the history of Stratton Mountain through Hubert’s stunning photography and hear the stories behind the images.
Doors to the Museum at 1 South Main Street, Stowe, open at 6:00 PM, and guests are invited to explore the exhibits and socialize. The discussion begins at 6:30 PM. Event admission is $10 and helps support the Museum's mission to “collect, preserve, and celebrate Vermont's rich skiing and snowboarding history.”
