Narrative:The ski-equipped DeHavilland DHC-6-100 Twin Otter, registration C-FCCE, operated by Transwest Air, had been parked on the apron overnight. The crew did not break the skis free from the snow-covered apron before starting engines. The pilot used forward and reverse thrust to break the skis free, and the aircraft abruptly began moving forward. The crew was unable to stop the aircraft before it struck a parked DHC-2 Turbo Beaver (C-FOED) and a parked vehicle. The Twin Otter sustained substantial damage to the nose cone, nose landing gear, both engines and propellers, and the fuselage. C-FOED sustained substantial damage to the right wing, and the vehicle also sustained substantial damage. No injuries occurred.
