The operator reported that, after an uneventful ski landing on a snow-covered glacier, the airplane taxied over some ruts and the pilot heard a "bang" on the right side of the airplane. After gliding to a stop, the pilot noticed the right wing was about 2 ft lower than normal. The pilot inspected the airplane and found that the right outboard landing gear bracket had fractured, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
The outboard landing gear bracket was not made available to the NTSB for inspection; therefore, the reason for the bracket's failure could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A fracture of the right outboard landing gear bracket for undetermined reasons.
