were you jetted correctly for the snow? if it just died like that, in 2 feet of snow, sounds like the jetting is probably off.

Doesnt sound good....you need to do a compression check.....Snow=Cold and Cold=Lean and Lean=Piston melted to your cylinder possibly so do a compression check to rule that out....good luck

i agree,it really does sound like u spit a ring tho.it will still run-on the cylinder that still has rings.i overheated once and same scenario.bike took a while to start,made clunking noises and did a comp test and had 110 in one side and 20 in the other.dont try and ride it till u check into it to prevent more damage to cyl walls and having to bore too much to compensate for deep ring gouges.hope thats not it for ya.

if your not running an air box maybe you got some water/snow in your motor?
