The pilot was returning the airplane to its base after a prepurchase flight test demonstration. The pilot, the potential buyer of the airplane, said he misjudged where the end of the snow covered runway was, and landed short. The airplane's main landing gear wheels sank into the snow, and the airplane nosed over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during landing. The snow-covered runway was a factor.
