THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING A BASE TO FINAL TURN, THE AIRCRAFT WAS BLOWN SLIGHTLY OFF THE CENTER LINE OF THE RUNWAY. ALSO, HE REPORTED ENCOUNTERING A WIND SHEAR EFFECT FROM A NEARBY BLUFF. AS THE PLANE DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT, IT COMMENCED A HIGH SINK RATE AND THE PILOT ADDED POWER. HOWEVER, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK A SNOWBERM AT THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PLANE CONTINUED IN A RELATIVELY STRAIGHT LINE FOR ABOUT 75 TO 80 FT, THEN NOSED OVER.
