Narrative:
Lower oil pressure than normal in aircraft, lowered altitude to check fields to land in. Snow covered area and aircraft on skis for winter use. Did not see electric lines across field opening between trees (both sides) hit wires as I tried to dive under them. Landed aircraft safely, minimal damage. Called power company and reported later. Flew aircraft home.
