Good luck, the more dense the snow the worse it is. Ran the extreme air vents last season and they don’t change anything but durability. The g5 is better but it’s still a problem. I have learned to use my left hand as a hood wiper on the deep days. I have ridden 10-15 of those kinds of days this year and probably the same amount in the two years I had my 2020.5 turbo and I’ve gotten used to the process wipe the hood and pack around the muffler and front end just to get moving again.
Two things that might work that I haven’t tried yet; five25 is a new company in Alberta that makes a isa bypass for the G4’s with lightweight hood and also I would think a race can would help because sleds tend to be more responsive with them on.
So I tried the Left Hand wiper manuver multiple times, and each time I did that I ended up off my sled!
Freaking snow was SO DEEP I couldn't steer the sled well with only one hand.
FIVE25 has designed the first ISA (Intake Silencer Assembly) DELETE specifically for the 2020.5-2022 Skidoo 850 Turbo (G4 Chassis). ISA Delete should fit any 850 with the lightweight hood, but the last photo indicates the part no. the ISA Delete will replace. Feel free to cross reference to see...

From your intake vents, down to the boost box, there is a lot of plastic and piping, much of which hold poor flow characteristics and additional weight. Similar to an aftermarket intake on your vehicle - with the ISA DELETE you can hear more turbo intake noise (which we all love). There is more open air under the hood (which means lower under hood temps). As well as better flow characteristics for your engine, all while looking ****ing cool.
