I understood snapcraft was in pip, and could be used on windows to manage snaps in the store. Unfortunately it's painful to install. I also found it unsuccessful. We should consider better ways to package / build snapcraft for windows and document the process.
My full notes are below, but 'pip install snapcraft' fails because cx_freeze can't be installed.
Installed Python 3.7 - https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-371/
Disable path length limit (linked in python installer)
