Narrative:
The pilot of C-FYDW, a Cessna 180C, was returning to the Grace Lake airport with three passengers on a sight-seeing flight. During the landing roll on Runway 35, the aircraft encountered several gusts of wind from the left, and swung to the left side of the runway. The wheel-skis sank in the soft ground and the aircraft tipped up on its nose, damaging the propeller. The tail then dropped back to the ground. Some wrinkling was noted in the aft fuselage. The occupants were not injured.
