NTSB Factual Report

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during takeoff on a snow-covered airstrip, the left wheel encountered a "foot deep snow bank". The airplane veered left and nosed over.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and vertical stabilizer.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s selection of unsuitable terrain for takeoff, which resulted in a loss of directional control.
