What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot landed on runway 36 at Columbia station airport (4G8) the runway was covered with 5/7 inches of fresh snow. The pilot touched-down without incident. He lost control of the a/c when he encountered a white-out condition on rollout. At approx. 500 feet after touch down the a/c turned slightly to the left (15/20 degrees) and departed the runway. The right wing struck an upright 4 foot vertical pipe used to anchor the wind tetrahedron. This collision with the pipe tore 2 feet off of the outboard right wing. The a/c continued moving in a north-north-west direction, until the nose-gear collided with a berm, collapsing the nose wheel. The nose-gear broke and the a/c skidded on the engine cowling and continued to slide for another 75 feet where it finally came to rest in 20 degree nose down attitude.
