The annual Ryan Shreve Memorial Ski Race is March 29 at Sierra-at-Tahoe.

The categories include skiing, snowboarding and the 3-inch hose relay. It’s open to firefighters, paramedics and their families. And the racers must be wearing their firefighter turnouts.

The fundraiser is at Sierra because this is where Shreve grew up skiing. He was on the Buddy Werner team in the mid-1980s and skied at Sierra while on the STHS ski team all four years.

Shreve was 24 when he died after a wakeboarding accident on Folsom Lake.

The Ryan Shreve Head Injury Awareness Foundation was created in the 1997 South Tahoe High School graduate’s name in hopes of limiting the number of deaths like his.

Registration is at 8:30am, with the race starting at 10am.
