STOWE- The Vermont Ski Museum Board of Directors has selected Hubert Schriebl to receive the Paul Robbins Ski Journalism Award. The Paul Robbins Ski Journalism Award recognizes a Vermonter who performs his/her skill in written, broadcast, or photo journalism with ethics, humor, good taste, and always with the promotion of Vermont skiing and the larger skiing community in mind. The nominee is recognized for a lifetime of service to the ski community. The museum will present Schriebl with this award at the eigth annual Vermont Ski Museum Hall of Fame Induction on October 24.

For the past four decades, Stratton’s photographer has covered four winter Olympics Games and has had his photographs featured in Ski, Skiing, GEO, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, and Vermont Life. His work can also be seen on many Stratton walls and on every trail map, brochure, and printed piece. His portfolio is vast and covers a wide range of subjects from Olympic downhillers and majestic mountain peaks, to apples growing on the trees and feeding porcupines in his front yard.

This award is given in memory of Paul Robbins, of Perkinsville, Vermont, who dedicated his life to promoting the sport of skiing through writing. Well known for wearing a Scottish tam, Robbins started writing about ski racing in the 1960s. His work appeared in many magazines, including Skiing, SKI and Ski Racing. Robbins worked at eight Winter Olympics, every one since 1980 in Lake Placid. He died unexpectedly at age 68 in 2008.

Well-known ski writer Stu Campbell received the award in 2008.
