Hey Glen,

hows the bookings on your rental sleds, and where can a guy find your available machines and rates. We are planning to take my dad up to McBride in a couple months, and he does not have a mountain sled, so we need to rent one. Just want to make sure we reserve the right machine before you get booked up.

It all depends on what you want? All mountains here offer a little of something different.. the first day might be an idea to go up bell as it's kinda a mellower area, then after that you could go into luceille or renshaw.. Renshaw is a large area and has the most snow, and has a very diverse selection of type's of riding.. It has climbing, powder most anything that you are looking for.. Do you have avalanche gear?

Everyone was super impressed with Glen's willingness to help out getting sleds into his shop when they wouldn't start in the -35* temps over the weekend. We ended up leaving SuperOz's ZX there for a sleepover Friday night; after he spent the first day napping in the truck while we rode Bell. Then Gordie's 07 800R wasn't interesting in starting on Sat. morning and went for a warm up at Spindrift too. Awesome service; thanks!!!:perfect10::clap2:

Was up riding McBride December 26/7/8 and was tuning the TNytro. Glenn helped me out almost everyday with advice/suggestions. Great shop to deal with and I will be back. :beer:

Thanks Glenn for all your help with our Dec 19-22 2008 trip. with all the cold weather and the horses you have been a great help. Still tryin' to figure out my 07 M1000 issues but will take back to my dealer tomorrow. With you help wwe were able to salvage out trip and make the best of it. even with a pouting oussy I was still able to get the high mark. Once I get the engine issuses iroed out I will be talking to you 'bout the RK-Tek clutch upgrade. The best to you and your better half in the new year:mountainClimb:

Hey Glen, thanks for having a good selection of parts. Needed some upper head seals for the 800 Doo. Man you run some brutal hours during the Christmas Break.
Also purchased Race fuel for the 800 Poo and goggles for my son.
#1 - Bbtoys and myself working on gaskets
#2 - Done...antifreeze ready to go in
#3 - Sons new goggles

Special thanks to Bbtoys, Summitric, Summit and of course Rod for all the assistance (Rod held the drinks). It's a lot more fun fixing a sled with a bunch of fellow sledders...lol..

If it wasn't for glen my trip would of possible ended on the the first day after bending a tie rod, a valuable addition to the town. All the best to you and you Family in the new year. Glen

Stopped by for some oil and a belt last Saturday. The shop is busy and Glen was going about 100MPH trying to help everyone. The ladies knew who to call for info on the unfortunate accident at Moose Lake so we would know when our buddies would be hitting town. Good on you Glen and I hope Spindrift continues to be a big success for everyone involved!!! You can sleep in the summer:d:d

Yah we try to keep an eye open to all area's at most all times but it can be tough at times.. I hope the other S&M guys will help me out in that aspect when they are in the shop as all of them that i've met so far have been good people to deal with.. The local pub also commented on how good the S&m peeps were to deal with and they were respectful aswell.. Good job guys.. I've really enjoyed the move and running of shop so far.. And quadster is becoming more of a very valuable asset to the shop everyday.. Our philosihy(spelling ?) is simple, treat the customers as if we were in there shoes(on the other side of the counter).. We have gotten a very good response so far, Thanks to all the S&M guys who have stopped in as well as all the others..

Do you carry any race fuel in stock at Spindrift?

Sure would be easier to buy some locally on multi day trips, than to carry down a lot to McB for our turbo sleds.
Also do you have Blue marble oil for sale?

Thanks if you get a chance to reply.
