Narrative:The pilot reported that, after touchdown, during the landing roll, airplane ground looped and veered right. He corrected with left aileron and rudder, but the airplane continued right, exited the runway, and rolled over a snowbank. Subsequently, the airplane became momentarily airborne and then touched down again. The left main landing gear (MLG) sank into the snow, and the propeller, left MLG, and left wingtip impacted terrain.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left-wing rib.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during touchdown, which resulted in runway excursion onto snow.
