Analysis
The PIC had chosen rwy 15 for the LOC app and was cleared by approach control. The PIC stated that he cancelled his IFR flt plan entering clear conditions at 3,000 ft. the PIC further stated that he planned an approach using a ltl higher spd for the gusty wind cond's. the lndg was normal except that it used more rwy than planned. The wx rptng station provided data that indicated x-wind cond's with 22 kt gusts. The PIC then started a go-around and applied full pwr. The PIC rptd that the acft appeared to come in contact with snow on the left side of the rwy and the acft yawed left and skidded off between two rwy's and a taxiway. The acft had no mech pblm and the rwy had been appropriately clrd of snow.
