I don't know if there's a specific one. I suppose airborne-qualified elements of the 10th Mountain Division would count, but the 10th Mountain Division is pretty much a cold weather/mountain unit in name only... it's mostly been trained and utilized as a regular infantry division since the end of World War II.
If any Army unit is scheduled to deploy to an arctic/polar/alpine region though, its personnel can be sent to receive basic arctic individual training and cold weather survival instruction at the Army's Northern Warfare Training Center in Alaska or the USMC's Mountain Warfare Training Center in California, all at the operational commander's discretion, of course (and budget allowing).

SEAL Team Two used to be the only NAVSPECWAR unit with mandated arctic-specific training, but as of last year, all new SEALs will have to take the 28 day long arctic training course in Detachment Kodiak up in Alaska. I think SEAL Team Two is sort of the "first choice" for arctic and sub-arctic operations, but only until the rest of the SEAL teams go through Detachment Kodiak training.
