Narrative:

I was pilot in command of a 1972 cessna 182P for a short local flight to reposition the aircraft to our maintenance facility [that] operates [at] a private grass strip. The airfield advertises a 2;600 ft grass strip. I had on board with me an owner of the aircraft; who is a student pilot and he was sitting right seat. We took off and flew the short 5 minute flight. I overflew the field at 1;500 feet MSL and entered a left downwind. Wind at nearby [at] ZZZ was 180@12-18G. I have flown into this field numerous occasions and with similar weather conditions in this exact aircraft; I owned this aircraft for 8 years. The approach and landing were as planned for the conditions; with both mains on the ground I executed full braking action and the airplane briefly slowed; our braking authority ceased somewhere just below rotation speed and we began to skid. I raised the flaps in attempt to provide more braking action to the wheels to no avail. The plane continued to skid down the remainder of the runway until we reached a shallow ditch just past the threshold where the nose dropped into a ditch; I had cut off the engine about the same time the prop struck the ground so it was still spinning at a decent rate.the reason I decided to continue this landing roll was because of my experience landing this plane at this field. I have done it several times in various conditions and I was certain that I would be able to stop with a safety margin. However; once I realized I was not getting the braking action I needed it was too late (seconds to react); I was trapped because there are powerlines on the end of the opposing threshold and I was not confident I could clear them given our weight and current conditions. My only option at that time was to stop the airplane as I was committed to stay on the ground. Unfortunately; some combination of factors prevented me from decelerating the plane in time. [The owner of the aircraft] and I were both uninjured.
