From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Aircraft touched down just before the high speed turn off/taxiway on runway 01 at pamx. On the roll out the aircraft started to slide right. Pilot applied left rudder to counteract as well as a slight increase in power. Those actions didn't correct the aircraft and the aircraft continued to slide towards the right side of the runway. The edge of the ski impacted a lip of ice beneath the snow causing the right wing to impact the ground. The airplane then ended up nosing forward tail coming up causing the propeller and nose to impact the ground followed by the left wing. Aircraft came to rest stopping nose and left wing tip to the ground and tail in the air.
