The certificated private pilot was departing from a snow-covered 800 feet long site, in a tundra-tire equipped airplane. The pilot said that as he neared the end of the site, just before the airplane became airborne, the right main wheel hit a rut, and the right main landing gear collapsed. The airplane veered to the right, and collided with a stand of willows.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of an unsuitable takeoff area. A factor associated with the accident was rough/uneven terrain.
