The airplane sustained substantial right wing damage on impact with a snowdrift and terrain when the airplane departed the right side of runway 36 during landing. The pilot stated, "I went around the pattern again and the conclusion ended up the same [too] high and [too] fast but I decided to land this time and the wind blew me off the right side of the [runway]. If I would not have gone off the side of the [runway] I would have gone off the end." The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane in reference to the flight. The wind was from 220 degrees at 14 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper in-flight decision to land with a quartering tailwind and not maintaining directional control. Factors were the quartering tailwind and the snowdrift.
