THE STUDENT PILOT WAS MAKING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS ON RUNWAY09 WHILE PREPARING FOR A FLIGHT CHECK. AFTER LANDING, HE PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE COWL FLAPS AND PUSH IN THE CARBURETOR HEAT CONTROL. HE STATED THAT AT THAT TIME, HE LET THE AILERONS GO TO A NEUTRAL POSITION AND THE WIND PICKED UP HIS RIGHT WING. HE REPORTED THAT THE WIND BLEW THE PLANE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE THE LEFT WING CAUGHT A RUNWAY "MARKER BEACON" AND SPUN AROUND. THE PLANE STRUCK A SNOWBANK AND FLIPPED OVER. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE WIND WAS GUSTING TO 20 KNOTS.
