John Prusak | Editor/Publisher

John Prusak

John is the longtime editor and publisher of Snow Goer magazine and snowgosite.com. He started with Snow Goer way back in the fall of 1993, when the Indy XLT revolution was starting and ZRs were taking over racetracks. John has also been the editor and/or publisher for several other magazines for Snow Goer’s parent company, including Snow Week, Snowmobile Magazine, Snowmobile Business, Powersports Business, Boating Industry, ATV Magazine, ATV Sport, UTV Magazine, Fuel Oil News and, very briefly, Trailer Life magazine. But, at the end of the day, snowmobiling is his true passion, and he has now participated in his 28th Rode Reports event, testing sleds for Snow Goer. In 2020, he was inducted into the International Snowmobile Hall of Fame.


David Wells | Contributing Writer

David Wells

David has been writing about snowmobiles for more than 40 years, but you won’t find anybody on our team calling him old – we wouldn’t dare! A proud native of the New York, area, where he still lives, David is a member of the extended Snow Goer team, but a vitally important member nonetheless. In the magazine, David writes all of the “Flashback” articles about vintage snowmobiles, plus some aftermarket product testing, tour stories and other interesting features. He’s also been involved in the sport in many different ways — from sales and marketing to grass roots leadership. In fact, in September of 2015 Wells was inducted into the International Snowmobile Hall Of Fame.
