THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A SNOWBANK DURING LANDING ROLL. THE TURF LANDING SITE WAS CLEAR BUT SNOW HAD BEEN PILED TWO TO FOUR FEET DEEP ALONGSIDE THE STRIP DURING THE CLEARING PROCESS. AS THE AIRCRAFT NEARED THE END OF THE STRIP DURING LANDING THE PILOT STEERED TO THE RIGHT TO PROVIDE MORE CLEARANCE FOR ANOTHER GLIDER WAITING FOR TAKEOFF.
