The Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum<\/strong><\/a> has two new shows running concurrently that would be worth checking out if you happen to be near Stowe, Vermont, any time soon.<\/p>\n Beginnings: Snurfing to Snowboarding<\/em><\/strong> (featuring the work of the guys in the photo: Jake Carpenter<\/strong>, Sherman Poppen<\/strong><\/a>, and Tom Sims<\/strong>) and From the Alps to Vermont: The Photography of Hubert Schriebl,<\/a><\/strong><\/em> according to a story in Vermont’s Seven<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Days<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Dave Schmidt<\/strong>, a museum board member who worked for Burton Snowboards<\/strong> from 1986 to 2003, curated both exhibits. To chronicle the evolution of snowboarding, he assembled Burton boards, Snurfers<\/strong> and other sliding devices as well as patents, photos, videos, firsthand accounts and memorabilia, much of it from the collection of Paul Graves<\/a><\/strong>, snowboarding\u2019s first sponsored rider and a former Vermonter who worked to legitimize the sport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The wave of nostalgia is definitely a closeout, but if you’re in the mood, check it out. Mr. Schriebl is one of the nicest photogs ever to point a camera at a snowboarder. And it’s great to see that he’s still around. Click here for all the details<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
