THE OWNER OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS A STUDENT PILOT. ANOTHER PERSON, WHO WAS A PRIVATE PILOT, STATED THAT HE WAS INVITED TO RIDE ALONG. THE PRIVATE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS UNAWARE THAT THE AIRCRAFT OWNER WAS NOT A CERTIFICATED PILOT. AFTER RETURNING FROM A LOCAL FLIGHT, THE OWNER/STUDENT PILOT MADE A CROSSWIND LANDING ON A SNOW-PACKED RUNWAY WITH SLICK PATCHES. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT SLID ON THE SLIPPERY SURFACE. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR STRUCK A 3-FOOT HIGH, WINDROWED SNOWBANK ALONG THE LEFT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. THE CROSSWIND WAS GUSTING TO 15 KNOTS.
