Permanent bibs awarded to Coureurs des bois

One of the greatest honours associated with the Canadian Ski Marathon is that of earning a Coureurs des Bois permanent bib number. To be eligible for this award, skiers are required to successfully complete the Coureurs des Bois Bronze, Silver and Gold categories followed by 4 Gold Bars (these need not be in successive years). As of the 36th edition, 144 skiers have earned this notable distinction. You will be able to spot them wearing their gold coloured bibs on the trail in 2003!

Tourers

For the last three decades, only Gold Coureurs des Bois award winners could qualify to earn a permanent bib number, which took them at least 7 years to accomplish. Now, there is a permanent bib award for tourers to recognize their commitment to skiing and dedication to this legendary ski event. Any tourer who skies a total of 50 sections over any number of years (beginning in 1996) earns the Weber Touring Award, which includes a permanent bib number that will be worn on a special purple coloured bib. The award is named after Hans and Meg Weber who have skied with the Marathon in each of its 36 years.
