Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that, while on final approach to runway 31, the airplane flew through windy conditions and a "severe down wind shear." He said that the wind "drove" the airplane into the runway, and the airplane bounced a couple times. The left main landing gear contacted the snow and the airplane exited the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the lower fuselage. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. About 20 minutes before the accident, the recorded wind at the airport was 260° at 11 kts, gusting to 19 kts.
