Probable cause
Compensation for wind was inadequate anad directional control not maintain by the PIC. Contributing factors were: snow covered runway, gusty crosswind, and a snowbank.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
While the student pilot was attempting to land on a snow packed runway, with a gusty crosswind, directional control was lost on the roll out and the aircraft veered off the runway and nosed over.
