Scheiber developed into a good all-rounder. In 2000 he was three-time Austrian youth champion (downhill, super-G and slalom) in his age group and then accepted into the junior squad of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV). In January 2001 it was used for the first time in the European Cup at the races in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee , but was still far from the points. Three weeks later he finished twelfth in the slalom at the 2001 Junior World Championships . After further European Cup races without points in January and February 2002, Scheiber won the silver medal in the downhill at the 2002 Junior World Championships and thus made it to the B-team of the ÖSV.

At the end of winter, he was able to place himself in the top ten in both the Downhill and Super G World Cups. After the opening of the glacier in Sölden at the beginning of the 2005/06 season, Scheiber was seriously injured on November 13, 2005 during giant slalom training in Sun Peaks . He suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee and had to take a break for the rest of the winter. In his second World Cup race in the 2006/07 season , the Super-G in Lake Louise , Scheiber was back on the podium. In December he reached two third places in the two downhill runs from Bormio and in March he was second again in the Super-G from Kvitfjell. He also achieved top 10 results in the giant slalom and the super combined, which brought him ninth place in the overall World Cup and the Downhill World Cup as well as fourth place in the Super G World Cup.

Ten days later he again set the second fastest time in the downhill from Bormio , but was disqualified because he was standing too high in his ski boot.
