Narrative:
During landing roll, the airplane hit several patches of snow and ice that were located left of the centerline. The pilot attempted to add a little power and right rudder to avoid the ice. The airplane veered to the left, the nose landing gear struck a snow bank, and the airplane nosed over. The winds at the time of the accident were calm.

Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during landing roll. Contributing factors were the runway's patchy snow and ice conditions and a snow bank along the side of the runway.
