Letter: Sledders 'take care of each other'

Dear Editor:

I would like to thank Northwest

Motorsports for sponsoring the ride clinic with professional

snowmobiler Bret Rassmussen last weekend.

It was a great experience to be out

there and observe and learn from one of the best riders in the

sport. NWMS is doing a great service to the sledding community by

bringing Bret to Libby and I for one hope that it will be an annual

event.

While the clinic was awesome, I have to

say that I saw firsthand that the level of service from the team at

NWMS is truly top notch. I do not happen to ride an Arctic Cat and

ended up having an electrical issue with my sled while we were out

for the clinic. Thankfully, I was still able to participate as they

had brought several demo sleds out and everyone was more than

willing to offer a chance to ride.

But what I am truly grateful for is

that Trent and Brian and a few others who had been on the ride went

back in the next day in a total downpour to help me retrieve my

sled. That is the kind of service that money can’t buy.

Sure, there is always a lot of friendly

banter about what brand of sled is the best. The truth, if you ask

me, is that you can learn to ride any brand if you put in enough

time on it. It’s an awesome sport and I have been super impressed

by the way sledders take care of each other.

So, I just wanted to give a public

“thank you” to Tom, Trent and Brian. You’re awesome!
