The Air Tindi Cessna A185F, registration C-GZIX, was departing Consolation Lake, NWT, on wheel-skis. The snow was mushy and glazed due to warm weather and as the aircraft approached flying speed, the right ski plowed under an 18 inch deep snow drift. The aircraft swerved to the right, the right gear leg separated from the fuselage, and the fuselage nosed down onto the ice. Neither occupant was injured; however, the propeller, cowling and lower fuselage sustained substantial damage.
