Sometimes I come across a story that is so compelling I feel I must dig deeper and bring in to this audience. Hubert Schriebl’s stunning photographs have thrilled New Englanders for decades. Born in Austria, Hubert arrived in Vermontin 1964 to teach at the Stratton Ski School and made it his home. He has traveled, skied and taken photographs around the world, from the Arctic Circle and the Himalayas to the American Southwest, including four Winter Olympics andmultiple World Cups. His work has appeared in SKI, Skiing, GEO, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Vermont Life, and Stratton Magazine. Hubert has chronicled life in his adopted home state not just capturing the image but capturing what’s behind the image making him one of the sport’s preeminent photographers.
