Read the full NTSB narrative

THE TURF RWY WAS WET FROM MELTING SNOW WITH SNOWBANKS ON BOTH SIDES. THE PLT DECIDED TO TAKE OFF FROM THE LEFT SIDE STAYING CLEAR OF MUD. ACCELERATION WAS SLOWER THAN NORMAL DUE TO THE WET GRASS & AS THE PLT TRIED TO ROTATE A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. THE PLT COULD NOT GET THE ACFT OFF THE GROUND & THE FLT WAS ABORTED. ACCORDING TO THE PLT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR HIT THE SNOWBANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY JUST AFTER ABORTING CAUSING THE ACFT TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT. AS DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST THE RIGHT WING TIP CONTACTED THE GROUND & THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
