Incident Overview
A pilot conducted a fly-over to assess runway conditions, including wind direction and speed. The runway was reported clear of snow with no indication of ice or frost. Winds in a nearby bay were estimated at 10 knots or less.
Pilot's Account
Immediately after touchdown, the pilot noted that the airplane felt like it had no traction, with braking action described as poor to none. After several hundred feet of ground roll, a "strong" gust of wind was felt on the tail. The pilot decided to swerve north of the runway to avoid impacting trees at the runway's end. The airplane subsequently impacted a soft mound of dirt that was not initially visible, causing the airplane to slowly nose over.
Damage Assessment
In the event, the airplane's left strut was broken, the left wing was bent aft, the engine firewall and chin were crushed, and the aft fuselage was crushed and bent.
