Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane sustained substantial damage on impact with terrain and subsequent nose over during a night landing. The pilot stated, "While descending to the minimum altitude for the area (3000 msl [mean sea level]) I picked up rime ice on the windshield but could see lights on the ground thru the side windows. ... Shortly thereafter I had the airport visually. The ice on the windshield had started sublimating. When I was on final, I had good visual contact of the airport, runway, VASI, runway and edge lights. The approach was normal. As I was about to touch down, I apparently was hit with crosswind gusts that change my direction 10- 15 degrees and moved me to the edge of the runway. About that time I must have run out of flying speed and touched down on the snow to the left of the runway. I traveled a 100 ft or so until the nose wheel dug in to the soft dirt and flipped the aircraft upside down."
