Narrative:
On the evening of dec/xx/97, at approximately XA30 local time my aircraft received clearance to taxi from the GA FBO at msp to the W5 intersection and hold short runway 30L. Due to windy conditions causing drifting snow and the present taxiway conditions (light packed snow that had not been removed at the time) aircraft X taxied past runway 30L, due to the non visible presence of any hold short markings on the taxiway. This action caused the aborted takeoff of a commercial carrier. Instructions to call the tower after landing at home base were given, and promptly complied with. The accidental actions taken by myself were not in any way preconceived or malicious of any nature and in no way meant to cause any delay or harm to any commercial carrier or personnel.
