Backcountry Snowmobile Ski Tour in Hokkaido – Private Guided Access to Japan’s Deep Powder

Get to the Real Backcountry – Private Snowmobile Ski Tour in Hokkaido

Escape the crowded resorts and experience untouched powder.
SilkCrane offers an exclusive guided snowmobile adventure that takes you beyond the boundaries of ski lifts and packed slopes — deep into the heart of Hokkaido’s true backcountry.

Why Choose SilkCrane's Backcountry Tour?

• No More Crowded Lifts or Broken Gondolas
  Skip the ski resort chaos. Forget expensive lift passes, long lines, and unreliable infrastructure. We take you to the real backcountry where nature is the only limit.
• Not a Fair-Weather Fantasy Like Heliskiing
  Heliskiing in Japan only runs on clear-sky days — and Hokkaido’s winter skies are mostly overcast. Our snowmobiles run reliably even in snow, bringing you to pristine runs when helicopters can’t.
• Private. Quiet. Authentic.
  Ride with our experienced guide on a Scandic Trail Blazer, carving the way through untouched snow. Then, transfer to a Mountain Machine to climb higher or prepare to drop in from the zone we reach. It’s your own private chairlift… with an engine and zero crowds.

How It Works

1. Trail Creation
   Our guide leads the way on a snowmobile, creating a trail through the backcountry forest.
2. Uphill Access
   You’ll ride tandem behind the guide on a powerful Mountain Machine, gaining vertical with ease.
3. Ski & Explore
   From your drop-off point, choose to skin a bit higher or start your descent right away. Enjoy fresh lines on powder that no one else has touched.
