Catski in a Private Resort in Hokkaido!
Hokkaido is famous for its unrivaled snow conditions. During winter, strong Siberian storms cross the Sea of Japan, covering the slopes with pristine, light, fluffy snow, with an average accumulation of 15 meters annually.
For the ultimate experience in untracked powder, the Snowcat service offers unmatched access. Experience the pinnacle of luxury at an exclusive ski resort, reserved just for you and your friends, where untouched powder awaits your every turn.
Mountains & Terrains
Mount Iwanai rises majestically to an elevation of 1,086 meters, offering stunning panoramic views. As you begin your descent, the powder-laden slopes offer a variety of terrain. Advanced riders can enjoy exhilarating experiences such as skiing through ancient trees, steep glades, and challenging fall-line runs. Intermediate riders can build their confidence with powder turns on retired courses and well-spaced tree runs. On average, guests revel in approximately 4,700 vertical meters of untouched powder each day.
From late December through March, when Siberian weather systems meet the Niseko range, a thick layer of light and dry powder descends from the Sea of Japan onto the mountains making Hokkaido of the best freeriding destinations in the world!
The Package
Whether you’re seeking an intimate getaway or a memorable reunion, cat skiing in a private resort in Hokkaido, Japan, promises an unmatched experience.
Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly greeted with morning refreshments and provided with avalanche beacons for your safety. You’ll explore a variety of terrains, including wide-open former course runs, old-growth glades, and long, steep bowls. On the CAT, enjoy hot coffee and homemade sweets. Your day of blissful skiing on oceanfront powder will only be interrupted by a delectable, freshly prepared lunch from Iwanai’s restaurant. In the afternoon, discover new terrains as you traverse the many faces of Iwanai, until the last run, around 3:30 pm, accompanied by a breathtaking sunset over the Sea of Japan. At the Après, savor freshly prepared appetizers, warm up with hot sake, turn up the music, play a game of pool, and watch the sun gradually set over the bay.

Lodging
Experience the ultimate adventure with the multi-day packages, featuring cat skiing, luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining, soothing hot springs, and seamless transportation.

Stay at the elegant Iwanai Resort hotel, blending Japanese style with Western comfort. Rejuvenate in the spa with natural hot spring water, a sauna, and private baths. Relax with handcrafted cocktails or fine wines in the bar and lounge, all while admiring the stunning views of Iwanai Bay.

For the ones who prefer to stay in Niseko, Iwanai’s courtesy shuttle is tailored for day trippers, offering pick-up and drop-off service from Kutchan, Hanazono, Hirafu, and Niseko Village.
The Cats
Catskiing in Hokkaido, Japan, delivers the ultimate backcountry adventure, dropping you in the heart of Powder Country. The island’s unique terrain and weather patterns make snowcats the most reliable way to consistently access Hokkaido’s legendary powder. Unlike Niseko’s lifts, which can be closed by high winds, snowcats can operate in almost any condition, ensuring you reach the deep snow every time.
The brand new custom-built panoramic glass cabins sit on PistenBully 600 with 260 Mercedes engine snowcats. The Cats carry a maximum of 14 guests to the near-summit of Mount Iwanai and feature cabins equipped with business-class airline seats, providing unrivaled comfort. Connect to Bluetooth and play some tunes, chat with the guides, or savor freshly prepared sweets and coffee right from your seat.
