Pilot Reports Landing Long on Snow-Covered Runway Before Nose-Over

Incident Overview

A pilot reported that during the approach, the airplane was "a little high and a little fast," resulting in a landing farther down the snow- and ice-covered runway than anticipated. After touchdown, the pilot applied brakes but found that the airplane was not decelerating quickly enough. Determining that insufficient runway remained for a go-around, the pilot continued and attempted to control the airplane as best possible until it struck a snow berm at the end of the runway. The impact caused the airplane to nose over.

Damage

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the windshield.

Pilot Report

The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
