Moving to Iqaluit

Moving to Iqaluit for three years with very little snowmobiling experience.
Loking for tips on which type of snowmobiles are best on the arctic tundra. Not a single tree on Baffin Island...just snow and rocks.
Will be utilizing the sled for transportation around town, but also will be interested in some exploration around the rugid tundra (with a passenger from time to time).
Which ones are the toughest and operate best in hard cold weather conditions. I'm told I need a 4 stroke 'touring'. Seat and hand warmers would be nice. Not too worried about cost, within reason. Best brands? Best options?
Open to all thoughts and suggestions!
Thanks

Re: Moving to Iqaluit

YIPES!!!, that is some move your doing!. I'm assuming work-related?. As far as sleds, I would have to agree with the Skandic suggestion and there are lots of folks on the site who can steer you in the right direction in terms of best 'cold-temp' operations. Good-luck with the move

Welcome to the site!!!
Skandic is probably the best workhorse and has the widest track for what you'll be using it for
