I'm thinking that Skidoo has a bad head gasket and or warped head.  The gasket or head can fail in such a way that it is only pushing compression or combustion gases past it into the cooling system wich results in an overheat condition. 
I wouldn't expect a failure on a 2023 but if it was my sled I would verify it is still pumping water.  After that I would be checked for CO gases in the cooling system. 
This is a link for old school non electronic Gas detection.

The snow flap thing... I doubt it.  It would have cooled off in field with a lot of snow passing through the tunnel. 
 
 a youtuber Samcrac went through this with a BMW I8   the series starts here  
I worked at a high volume Ford dealer in 90's.   I have been down the road of bad head gaskets, and or warped head and hairline cracks.   What is great about this series of video's with this car is that they really do a great job of covering the basics.    
 
 

Awsome report.  Thank you for posting.  

When we got home.. all the snow was gone... but we brought some back with us 🙂

Despite it being 2023,  my sled still thinks it is 2006.  I had the oldest sled in the Parking Lot at OTIS...but I think it still looks cool.

Dupont slides if you can find them will help as well.    I run with my scratchers down all the time and would not leave home with out them.🙂
