well you'll have to buy all the plumbing first you have to look at airbox and see which way to route it.

It ain't really that hard. Just gotta build a tube that goes from the airbox to the surface somehow, doesn't really matter how. Just take off your seat, look at the tube, and decide how to route a new tube.

They are  not that difficult to do I am about to Snorkle a Kodiak . There is no secret recipie for doing it. You need to look at the Airbox and see how to run the tube. Then If you have Automatic you need to Run Snorkles for the Transmission Intake and Exhaust. It would be impossible to do at a place like underhills unless someone had a rolling Plumbing shop/Mechanics shop. I snorkled My 05 Grizzly in 3 hours. I would look at leaving the bikes with someone you trust to do it it can be a long process.

to do it right and make it look good will take atleast 3 days depending on how long you work on it. I have snorkled a big bear and a grizz.  Is your big bear a auto or manual?  I can post or send you pics of how tos....if you want.
