There is one. I think it's called Spindrift? I bought sliders there. Is it closed?

They were awesome. Would put in the late nights to get guys going and would always go the extra mike from what I have heard..... Big loss to have them shut down

always a sad day when a sled shop in a small town sledding area closes or struggles. guys will have to be bringing spare parts. ran into a group in golden a few years back, they all rode cats and had a trailer filled with parts. seen them out to midnight doing repairs in the parking lot.

We can only hope there is a sled repair shop this year, otherwise many of us will have out weekend cut short.

in this case "many of us" should be read "I -- Bunny man"

Glen is no longer at spindrift. He is working at the terrecana resort as an assistant manager. Spindrift is looking for another reputable mechanic to keep everything running.

Too bad Glen really look after people, went the extra mile, always there to help... Hard to replace reputable guys like that.

Yeah Glen would be near that location, best wrench going. Anyone that has him in their stable is going to have a busy shop.

As I said before. Glen is no longer wrenching on machines in mcbride. We talk all the time. He is working at the terrecana resort now.
