Emo Henrich was a gracious and multitalented man with
a wonderful ability of being able to bring people together
at Stratton Mountain. He was a mentor to many, taught
thousands to ski and entertained many more with his artwork
and musical group, The Stratton Mountain Boys. Emo and
his wife Ann were superlative Stratton hosts at their
cozy lodge, The Birkenhaus (1962-2005). They were early
and strong supporters of every non-profit on Stratton
Mountain; including the Chapel of the Snows, Stratton
Mt Fire Department, Stratton Mountain School, The Clinic,
and the Stratton Foundation (in order of their founding).
Perhaps
the Henrichs most unique gift was their extraordinary
ability to create an inclusive environment at Stratton
while teaching, entertaining and bringing people together
on the mountain (guests, employees, 2nd homeowners and
community members) not unlike the Mission of the Stratton
Foundation!
Whether
it was a visiting celebrity, like Jackie Kennedy, John
Newcombe, Arnold Palmer, Paul Newman, or legions of Stratton
Corporation employees, or local skiers; many found their
way to Stratton’s Ski School, Tyrolean Evenings
and The Birkenhaus. Ann and Emo were warm and welcoming
to all and many of their good deeds were done quietly
behind the scenes. The kitchen at Birkenhaus fed everyone
from part-time dishwasher Jake Burton, to well-heeled
dinner guests, to hungry employees who were laid off due
to lack of snow.
Stratton
recognized the character, integrity, leadership and ability
of their longtime Ski School director when they initiated
the Emo Henrich Award in his honor in 1989. Plato said
“What is honored in a community will be cultivated
there”. The Emo Henrich Award honors individuals
who contribute to our Stratton Community through their
overall excellence and their service to the Stratton Community.
Please
take the time to think about individuals who have made
an impact on life in the Stratton Mountain Community and
tell us why they should receive the Emo Henrich Award.
All nominations are due into the Stratton Foundation Office

Henrich Award will be presented Friday, February 29th,
