ArcticInsider About

If you’re a first‑time visitor, welcome! If you’re a regular reader of the website or our social channels, we’re glad you choose this place to share your enthusiasm for the Arctic Cat brand.

My name is Tom Rowland, and I’m the current steward of ArcticInsider and everything that lives under its roof.

This site was founded by John Sandberg, carried into its next era by Kale Wainer, and then by Pat Bourgeois. Each is recognized among the top authorities on the Arctic Cat brand and respected professionals in the powersports industry. Their work here remains preserved for all to enjoy.

I intend to keep delivering the content you’ve come to expect from ArcticInsider. As the owner of a single‑line Arctic Cat snowmobile dealership for over 35 years, my team’s connection to—and commitment to—the brand runs deep. We have access to a nearly untapped archive of Arctic Cat materials: rare literature, an extensive collection of legendary machines, race memorabilia, and much more that we’re excited to share with you.

You’ll also hear from members of our dealership team as well as past and present industry players. Together we’re life‑long trail riders, racers, adventurers, tuners, and tinkerers. We cherish the brand’s heritage, live and breathe its daily developments, and remain unwaveringly excited about its future.

Please join the conversation—share your opinions and perspectives, be respectful of others, and help make ArcticInsider a place you, your kids, and your mom will want to visit often.
