While landing on a 2,400-foot long, turf runway, the airplane traveled over a "slushy" portion of the runway and the pilot was unable to stop. The airplane traveled off the end of the runway, and came to rest in a ditch. The pilot did not report any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. Examination of the runway by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that it was contaminated with ice, snow, and water.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper in-flight decision to land on a contaminated runway. A factor was the contaminated runway.
