Factual narrative
THE ACFT NOSED OVER IN SNOW DURING LNDG, THE FAA INSPECTOR AT THE SCENE THE FOLLOWING DAY FOUND THE ACFT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY IN THE SNOW. THE ACFT TRACKS INDICATED THAT THE LNDG WAS MADE TOO FAR TO THE LEFT WHICH ALLOWED THE LEFT LNDG GEAR TO ENTER THE UNPLOWED DEEP SNOW AND TRIP THE ACFT, WHICH THEN NOSED OVER TO AN INVERTED POSITION.
