Bib for Jezersko

What is ski touring or ski mountaineering? A quote from Jezersko website:

Ski mountaineering is a winter sport which plays a special role among mountaineers in Jezersko. It has been nourished here for decades and can be especially enjoyable in snowy winters and springs, when ascents on skies up the mountain slopes and spirited descents on sheltered powder snow fields present unforgettable experience.

It is a beautiful winter sport on the snow outside of maintained ski resorts.

In a competition, you climb up the mountain and ski down - as fast as possible.

I am preparing bib numbers for this event for many years now. It is always a pleasure to work with local organizers.

You can see that the number itself it tall and narrow since it is attached to the competitors thigh.
