Skime Returns to Arctic Cat Roger Skime— a legendary engineer, designer, test rider and racing aficionado— will start a new role at Arctic Cat, but also one he’ s been doing for his entire career: brand ambassador.
The inventor of the first slide-rail rear suspension and many other innovations over his illustrious 57-year career at Arctic Cat was welcomed back by Brad Darling, president and CEO.
“ With his passion for snowmobiling, racing and innovation, Roger embodies the Arctic Cat spirit perhaps better than anybody on earth,” Darling said.“ There should never have been any gap between Roger Skime and the brand. Now that gap has officially been erased.”
Skime began his Arctic Cat career in 1962 when, at age 19, he stopped by the factory looking for a summer job and impressed founder Edgar Hetteen.
As employee No. 5, Skime started as a laborer but quickly moved up to an engineering position after showcasing growing technical knowledge and an unrivaled work ethic. He eventually became the VP of engineering and had his fingerprints on pretty much every Arctic Cat development for several decades. Skime was an engineering leader, huge racing proponent and constant presence at the company until his retirement at the end of 2018.
“ I’ m very excited,” Skime said about both his renewed role and the new ownership of Arctic Cat.“ There was a lot of concern and stress about the brand, and I was communicating with Brad every so often saying,‘ Brad, go get ahold of this thing, get it back on track.’”
Skime’ s role will take him places he never truly left, at racetracks, in dealerships and on the trails, continuing to advocate for the Arctic Cat brand.
