Merritt’s Bill Brewer has been enjoying considerable success in the sport of snowboarding this winter.

Competing for the First Nations Snowboard Team (FNST), the 14-year-old Brewer finished fifth and sixth overall in the U15 boys snowboard cross event at a major two-day competition at Big White Ski Hill, located east of Kelowna.

Brewer trains at Sun Peaks Ski Hill north of Kamloops. He is in his second season with the FNST squad. Brewer will be back in action at Big White this coming weekend.
