What happened
During a night approach on final approach, the Cessna (registration not provided) experienced a right wing strike against one or more limbs of a tree. Following this contact, the pilot continued the approach toward the runway but struck a snowbank approximately 100 feet before the runway threshold. The impact with the snowbank resulted in the shearing off of the aircraft's right landing gear.
In an attempt to assess further obstructions, the pilot applied power and continued down the runway. The pilot then executed a maneuver to return for a landing on the departure end of the runway. Upon touchdown during this second attempt, the aircraft swerved off the right side of the runway and came to rest in the grass. No injuries were reported.
