Not to be insulting, but it isn't something as simple as having the kill switch pressed is it? I have been known to pull the cord a few (dozen) times before figuring out I have the kill switch pushed in instead of pulled out... 
Other than that, has a critter gotten into something it shouldn't have (plugged up airbox/carb, chewed through fuel line, etc)? Leak that drained all your fuel? Fuel line disintegrated inside the tank? Wiring harness / switch became disconnected?
Do you have kids? Blame them for doing something to it - that always worked for my dad when I was young! 
The only time I have had something like that happen was after running through a lot of powder breaking trail, then it got really cold overnight. I had sucked up enough moisture in everything that it froze solid overnight and would not start the next morning. I am assuming that isn't the case here though.
Try pouring a little gas into the cylinders and see if it will fire. If it has spark and has gas it should run...
Good luck and let us know what you find out!

I could say it was bad gas but im too honest for that ..........it was actually a lack of gas period.

700
Just a word to the wise, round it over with the plugs stuck in holders after taking out of storage. WE,my dad and I tried to start his 700 Grand Touring with the e=start,wouldn't roll over,so I hand cranked it to find an oil line one-way valve had failed,hydro-locked it up and bent the connecting rod,expensive!hotdoo

Good to hear problem solved
About hydraulic lock...word to the wise... If your sled has a fuel shutoff always use it... if you do and your needle and seat starts to leak your engine will not flood making it hard to start or worse fill one cylinder and fire on the other causing a bent connecting rod.... Happened to Me!!
