What happened
A pilot was attempting to land a ski-equipped airplane at an off-airport landing site characterized by deep, wet snow. During the initial landing roll, the aircraft began to sink into the snow. In an effort to rectify the situation, the pilot elected to take off again, intending to return for a second landing within the tracks created by the first landing attempt.
As the aircraft accelerated toward lift-off speed, the right main ski struck a compacted track left by a snow machine. This impact caused the pilot to lose directional control of the aircraft. The pilot was unable to recover, and the airplane ultimately nosed over onto its back, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. The pilot noted that the accident might have been avoided if power had been reduced and the aircraft had turned around within the existing landing tracks prior to attempting the takeoff.
