Backcountry Snowbike Tours

What is a snowbike? – A Dirt Bike on Snow! A Snowbike is a off road motorcycle with the wheels removed and replaced by attaching a front ski and rear caterpillar track. The first broadly available commercial snowbike product was created by a company called Timbersled as recently as 2010 – and hence the term snowbike and Timbersled are often interchangeable…. Niseko Snow

bike Adventures uses snowbike conversion kits from both Timbersled and Snow Yeti MX mounted to the leading brands of 2016/17 Competition Specification 450cc Enduro & Motocross Bikes.

“A completely new experience using skills you already have, spend the day riding challenging backcountry terrain.”

Ideally suited for Intermediate to advanced on-road or off-road motorcycle riders whose skills are directly transferable to riding a snowbike with about 15-30mins of practice. This allows guides to quickly gain confidence in each riders ability to access challenging terrian for a true backcountry experience. All tours operate from our Kanbetsu base, 15 minutes north east of Hirafu, riding the Yamanashi range, elevation is between 500m -1300m. Mid winter tours usually ride within a 40km2 area from the base, spring tours can range significantly further. Tour Details

NSA is Back for 2022 / Reopening Special
Time to climb out of the ditch we have landed in and get back to the top of the mountain for 2022.

International Travel Reopening
The talking heads on TV and Governments are making the right noises about international travel, but until there are No Quarantines and No Entry Visas (Visa Waivers) Tourism won’t be a reality….. BUT actions speak louder than words….. Airlines are taking planes out of storage and preparing them to go back into service… thats expensive…. they wouldn’t do that unless they were very confident things are opening in the next few months. Therefore we are quite confident Japan will open by January.

2022 Season Early Bird Bookings Until December
Opening NSA is a significant financial commitment that requires a minimum number of tours to break even. Removing bikes from storage, start up maintenance, staffing and insurance combined with a end of the season engine rebuild and shutdown maintenance. In short it’s cheaper keep bikes in storage than run a handful of tours.

In a normal season by this time of year we would already have a bunch of bookings and be ready be to roll. So for 2022 things we will run a reopening special between now and the end of December to get your bookings in at early bird prices.
