KOBER JOSEPH H.KOBER "SEPP"
Long-time Ski Director at The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs,VA Honored as “The Father of Southern Skiing” by the Southeast Ski Areas Assn., He was inducted as a Member of the U.S National Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame.
Joseph H. “Sepp” Kober, 88, of Hot Springs, VA, passed away peacefully at Bath County Community Hospital, August 3, 2010. He was born October 25, 1921 in Igls, Austria. He is survived by his wife, Marion Kober of Hot Springs; one son, Joseph B. “Sepp” Kober and wife, Measi of Charlottesville, VA; one daughter,WaltraudWandel and husband Albrecht of Reutlingen, Germany; one sister, Waltraud Karakaschian of Stuttgart,Germany; two grandchildren, Joseph B. “Seppi” Kober Jr. and Katharina Wandel and one nephew, Jurgen Karakaschian. Mr. Kober was preceed- ed in death by his first wife, Isabel H. Kober.
Sepp Kober was the primary builder of the downhill alpine skiing industry in the south- eastern U.S. His efforts helped create one of the largest and most active ski markets in the country. From 1958 through the 1970’s, ski areas in Maryland,West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,Alabama,Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee got their start under his guidance and planning. In the process, he earned regional and national honors.
As Ski Director at The Homestead from 1959- 1998, he was the first to prove that skiing in the snow-starved South could become a reality. In 1962 he represented the southeast ski region as a charter member of the Nation- al Ski Areas Association. His efforts to orga- nize ski clubs in the region created a flow of new skiers that continues to this day and is recognized by ski industry leaders as critical to the growth of the sport nationwide.
He co-founded and served multiple terms as president of the Southeastern Ski Areas Association.He was the region’s first certified ski instructor, its first ski area director, the first to teach ski area management and train professional instructors in the region. He was first to organize and host USSA sanctioned races and events and was first to promote junior racing and NASTAR below the Mason Dixon Line.
With his compact, powerful and effortlessly graceful skiing style, he inspired southern ski entrepreneurs to invest in the snowmaking infrastructure that would become the main- stay of the southern ski industry. He provided areas and shops with accredited sources of inventory, rental equipment, and ski lifts. In 1970, he founded the Southeastern Ski Rep- resentatives Association (now the Southeast- ern Winter Reps Assn) and was its president for six years.
