The private pilot was attempting to land on the 1,000 feet long by 30 feet wide gravel runway. Upon touchdown, he realized there was five to six inches of slushy snow on the gravel surface, and he attempted to abort the landing. The airplane contacted brush at the departure end of the runway, and nosed over.
