Huber, who was initially considered an all-rounder, won his first points in the European Cup in the 1979/80 season and celebrated his first victory in the Zwiesel giant slalom that same winter . In 1981 he was runner-up junior European champion in downhill skiing in the Yugoslavian ski resort Stari vrh near Škofja Loka and won the Austrian combined championship in the same year . After further good results in the European Cup, he had a hard fall in 1983 in the European Cup descent from Valloire . After a forced break due to injury, he was particularly successful in the downhill from the 1983/84 season . He reached third place in the European Cup downhill ranking and made his first World Cup appearances in the North American races in March .
At the beginning of the 1984/85 season , Huber won his first World Cup points with eighth place in the downhill on the Saslong in Val Gardena . In March he finished seventh on the downhill from Aspen again in the top 10 and thus came 19th in the Downhill World Cup. In the Super-G he also scored points in Furano as twelfth , but these were still part of the Giant Slalom World Cup . In the 1985/86 season , Huber reached sixth place in the downhill run in Las Leñas, Argentina, in August and finished tenth in the downhill run from Kitzbühel in January . He was also able to score as twelfth in the combination formed from the Wengen slalom and the downhill in Åre . The next winter he achieved his best results towards the end of the season when he was sixth in the downhill and tenth in the Super-G in Furano. In the 1987/88 season Huber no longer drove into the World Cup points. He was dismissed from the squad of the Austrian Ski Association and ended his career.
Huber then completed the state ski instructor training and founded a ski school in Wagrain. In 2001 he became Race Director of Atomic . After twelve years with this ski manufacturer, from April 2013 he was Alpine Director for two years at the Swiss association Swiss-Ski .
