THE ACFT HIT A SMALL PINE TREE LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE RIDGE, THEN SLID DOWN A SNOW COVERED SLOPE TO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE WHERE IT CAUGHT FIRE & BURNED. THE PAX WAS FATALLY BURNED & THE PLT RECEIVED A SEVERE HEAD CONCUSSION. THE PROP WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME OF IMPACT & THE FLAPS WERE DOWN. THE PLT REPORTED HE WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS & CAME TO SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT. AT THAT TIME THE PAX WAS FLYING THE ACFT. LOCAL AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGATING ALLEGED FOUL PLAY.
