The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.
Pulling a sled tends to lif the sled and decrease friction thus making less difficult. Pushing does the opposite.
It is usually more difficult to push a sled than to pull it because pushing requires overcoming both the friction between the sled and the ground, as well as the resistance caused by the weight of the sled. Pulling a sled allows the person to use more natural body mechanics and leverage to overcome these resistances.

Pushing a sled requires the individual to overcome static friction, which is typically higher than the kinetic friction when pulling the sled. Additionally, pushing a sled can cause the snow in front of the sled to compact, creating more resistance. Pulling a sled allows the person to use their body weight more effectively to generate traction.

The force of friction is proportional to the force which surfaces press against each other. Since two people will cause the sled to push harder on the snow then one person, the friction will be greater for two people on the sled.
