Not sure what is popular up there when it comes to 2-seaters. Each model has their version. My questions would be is there enough powder or are the trails hard pack. If hard pack I would consider a fan cooled sled. If there is enough powder to throw snow on the intercooler than a liquid model will do. I think a fan cool might be the way to go. Also look at EFI versus a carb model. Once again I'm not up north were its butt cold so not sure if EFI is the way to go. Once those questions are answered plus what ever else someone brings up, ie second set of hand warmers would be nice, then it's down to what brand do you like.
