A snow vehicle includes a frame comprising an upper frame portion and a lower frame portion, a handlebar comprising a handlebar axis, said handlebar coupled to said upper frame portion and said lower frame portion and a tunnel comprising having a driven track shaft and a track rotatably coupled to the driven track shaft within the tunnel. A two-stroke engine includes a crankshaft and a tuned pipe coupled to the engine. The engine and the tuned pipe are positioned between the handlebar axis and the driven track shaft. A continuously variable transmission is disposed between the handlebar axis, the upper frame portion of the frame and the lower frame portion.

A solenoid switch 10 modified for higher current passage provides a case 20 containing an electromagnetic coil 30 within which slides a cylindrical post 50. A first stage 60 and a second stage 80, stacked on an open end of the case, each include electrically conductive disks which alternate between electrically conductive states, wherein electrical current is transported between opposed electrical conductors 40, and a nonconductive state wherein an open circuit exists between the conductors 40. An air inlet 82 and associated air outlet 83 allow the use of compressed air to cool the conductive disks. An optional third stage 100 provides a further conductive disk which further reduces electrical resistance and heat production.
