Location and Windsock Setup
The airport was located in an area between two mountains. It was equipped with two windsocks: one positioned at runway level, and the other placed above the treetop level.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the lower windsock indicated wind favoring Runway 16, but the direction was shifting approximately 45 degrees to either side of the runway heading. Meanwhile, the upper windsock indicated a left crosswind.
Takeoff Attempt
As the aircraft was about to take off, a gust of wind was encountered. The right wing raised in response to the gust.
Outcome
Subsequently, the aircraft veered to the left, and the left wing struck a tree. No other details about the aircraft, occupants, or damage were provided in the report.
