After a flight of approximately 20 minutes, the pilot made the first landing at Nendaz Bec (LSYD). After landing, the pilot begins a turn-around while increasing engine power, however the aircraft continued to slide straight ahead. Seeing that the turn is not possible, the pilot chooses to let the aircraft slide over a shed located in the extension of the landing axis at the edge of the lake.
The pilot states that the loss of control is due to a poor estimate of snow quality that was more slippery than expected. According to the information of another pilot who had landed in the same place on the morning of that day, the snow was rather sticky.
