Upon entry into the traffic pattern at Canyonlands airport in Moab, Utah the pilot did not conduct any kind of runway check to determine its suitability for landing. The pilot landed on runway 3 and the nose gear became entangled in a berm of dirt spread across the runway from side to side. That impact caused substantial damage to the aircraft's airframe.
