Yeah he must not have it setup right, either that or something is messed up with it. Because of its design it should be way more stable in the corners. Just pop the hood and it doesn't take brain surgeon to see that the steering is located above the motor instead of below it. Which in turn lets the motor sit lower and further back. Most of the reason that snowmobiles are tippy is because of bad suspension, not properly adjustment suspension, or a flawed design in weight distribution.

Have him check the rear shock if it feel like its sitting really high. Chances are its on the highest setting. Also you mentioned the front shocks being adjustable. Might have to tweak them to fit his needs. When them come from the factory they come setup with the basic rider in mind, some need tweeking depending on rider skill and comfort zone.
