Niseko is renowned for its world-class powder skiing and snowboarding. However, for those seeking an alternative winter adventure, snowbiking offers an unique experience that combines the full-throttle thrill of a high power motorcycle with snowsports.
What is Snowbiking?
Snowbiking combines the agility of a dirt bike with the on-snow capability of a snowmobile. Equipped with a ski at the front and a track system at the rear, snowbikes are lighter and more maneuverable than traditional snowmobiles. This design allows riders to navigate tight trees and climb with ease, offering a dynamic and adrenaline-pumping way to ride backcountry terrain.
What to Expect?
You’ll spend the day ripping untracked powder snow with the help of experienced, local, snowbike guides. You’ll also be accompanied by a professional photographer who will capture all of the action. Niseko Snowbike Tours are ideally suited for those with some previous motorcycle experience, as the skills are directly transferable to snowbiking. Typically, riders become comfortable with the snowbikes after about 15-30 minutes of practice, allowing enough time to explore the backcountry and rip through pow in a way you’ve probably never experienced!
