Analysis
The acft collided with a snowbank and ground looped during landing on a snow covered narrow runway. The pilot had been inactive in flying for several years and had recently purchased the accident acft. He had 9 hours dual and 3 hours solo in this acft. He stated that as he approached for landing on 3/13 he was not properly lined up with the cleared area of the narrow runway. Just after touchdown the right main landing gear drifted into the snow berm on the right side of the runway. As the acft entered a ground loop to the right it tiped onto the left wing.
