Narrative:

On coming in to land at ori, conditions were glaze ice with water on top. Wind was northeast at 10-15. I made a decision to land downwind to the southwest and uphill because the airport appeared sanded. On touchdown, I discovered it wasn't sanded and a go around was not an option. Attempting to maneuver for better traction, I lost control and slid into a berm.
