During the landing roll on a snow covered landing strip, the airplane's skis began to track in a snow machine rut, pulling the airplane to the left. The pilot applied power and full right rudder, but the airplane continued left, striking trees on the edge of the 1,200-foot-long by 12-foot-wide landing strip.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing. A factor was the snow machine ruts creating a rough landing surface.
