At the end of each season, the Far West Masters award special "leader bibs" to the top 10 men and the top 5 women in the overall season standings. These top racers wear special colored leader bibs throughout the following season to highlight their accomplishment.
The leader bibs are colored blue and numbered 1-10 for the top 10 men, while the top 5 women wear yellow bibs numbered 1-5. All other racers wear the standard white Far West bib with numbers starting at 20. The leader bib assignments for the 2014-2015 season are:
| Men (1-10 Blue) | Women (1-5 Yellow) |

In order to have unique bib numbers in the timing system computer and on the hill, the leader bibs are encoded in the timing system data with the bib number followed by a letter indicating the color - B for men, Y for women (i.e., 1B, 2B, ... 10B for the top 10 men; 1Y, 2Y, ... 5Y for the top 5 women).
