Analysis
The plt was attempting to land at the mountain arpt. Patwas indicated the winds were from the north at 15 KTS. Gusts were not reported. The plt made her apch at 70 mph IAS and with 20 deg of flaps deployed. As she flared the acft, she encountered a gust of wind from the right and corrected with pwr and right rudder. As she flared the acft a second time, she encountered a 'heavy' gust of wind from the left. She attempted to align acft with rwy but 'needed some airspeed and altitude.' She applied full pwr to go around. Acft collided with a small tree and overturned.
