While taxiing for takeoff and attempting to maneuver around snow berms to access the active runway, the airplane's left wing tip impacted a snow blower attachment, which resulted in substantial damage to the wing. The pilot stated that the accident could have been prevented had he been better aware of the unusual situations in the operational environment.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from an object (snow blowing equipment) while taxiing. The snow blowing equipment, and the pilot's failure to adequately maneuver the aircraft around snow berms were factors.
