Narrative:A de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter 200 aircraft on skis operated by Osprey Wings, was conducting a flight from Snake Lake, SK to an ice strip on Yalowega Lake, SK. The landing was relatively smooth however, shortly after touch down, the left wing dropped to the ice surface. The aircraft came to rest roughly 90 degrees to the landing track. The crew shut down the engines and confirmed that the passengers were uninjured. Inspection revealed that the left main landing gear leg had broken and the aircraft was resting on the left wingtip.
