Narrative:
The pilot said that while inbound to the airport, she received a weather advisory over the airport's unicom frequency of winds at 270 degrees magnetic at 7 knots. The pilot performed a visual straight-in approach to runway 17. She said that when she entered the flare, the airplane was still over the runway centerline. The pilot said that the airplane 'was blown off [of the] runway to the east.' The pilot said that she attempted to get back to the runway, but the attempt failed. The pilot said, she then added power for a possible go-around, but the airplane went into a ravine. Examination of the wreckage revealed no anomalies.

Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane in the landing flare. A factor relating to this accident was the crosswind.
