Narrative:
The pilot was landing on the left side of a 25-foot-wide runway because the center of the runway was covered in ice and the left side was clear. During the rollout, the right main landing gear wheel "bumped" the ice. The airplane then veered left, and the left main landing gear tire went off the runway, and into "soft grass." The airplane then nosed over.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout. Factors included the ice on the runway and the soft terrain.
