DURING AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLT, A LANDING WAS MADE DURING WHICH CONTROL OF THE ACFT WAS LOST AND THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A SNOW BANK HARD ENOUGH TO SHEAR OFF ONE OF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE OTHER MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED BUT THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT. THE INSTRUCTOR (CFI) SAID HE FELT A SEVERE SHIMMY IN THE ACFT, BUT HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHETHER IT STARTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE NOSEWHEEL TOUCHED DOWN. NO PREEXITING MECHANICAL PROBLEM WAS FOUND.
