BEFORE REACHING THE DESTINATION, THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE & THE PASSENGER BECAME ILL. THE PLT TRIED TO LAND ON THE EAST-WEST RWY, BUT THE X-WIND WAS TOO STRONG, SO HE THEN ENTERED A PATTERN FOR RWY 3. AFTER TURNING INTO THE WIND FOR A LANDING, THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED A GUST-LIKE CONDITION, THEN STALLED & IMPACTED THE GROUND. THERE WAS A FAST MOVING SNOW SQUALL IN THE VICINITY WITH WIND GUSTS TO 58 KTS. ALSO, THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE ACFT HAD ENCOUNTERED WIND SHEAR.
