THE PLT STATED THAT THE APPROACH INTO RAWLINS WAS NORMAL BUT WHILE ON SHORT FINAL HE REALIZED THAT THE ACFT WAS TOO LOW. THE ACFT WAS ACTUALLY LOWER THEN THE RUNWAY WHICH IS LOCATED ON A PLATEAU. HE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT BUT LOST AIRSPEED AND LANDED SHORT. THE LT WING HIT A SNOWBANK, THE ACFT SWERVED AND THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.
