Narrative:

On landing rollout approximately 1000 ft down the runway, encountered a slick spot on runway. With the crosswind, the airplane slid sideways off runway. Left main dropped off runway onto soft ground and snow. Because of this could not bring aircraft back onto runway and this pulled the aircraft further off the runway causing nosewheel to go into the snowbank and snap back and pivot the airplane on the nose striking both wingtips. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter said that he did not ask and the unicom operator did not volunteer the runway condition during the approach. He knew about the crosswind because of his corrective actions during the approach. After his touchdown, the aircraft was tracking down the centerline of the runway until it rolled onto a patch of ice and compacted snow at about 1000 ft down the runway. At that point the aircraft started to weather vane and slide toward the left side and after the left main gear stuck in the slush and mud the aircraft spun to the left. During this maneuver the nose gear snapped and the aircraft ended upon its nose spinning and damaging both wingtips. The pilot was the only occupant and was not injured. The aircraft is still undergoing repairs and the pilot said that the engine had been disassembled, but he did not know if any damage had been found there. The wingtips have been replaced and new nose gear attachments were installed, but no nose gear yet. The reporter said that the FAA did not investigate the incident.

Title: A CPR BE35 PLT SLID OFF OF A SLICK RWY AND ENDED UP WITH THE ACFT DAMAGED, BUT NO INJURIES.

Narrative: ON LNDG ROLLOUT APPROX 1000 FT DOWN THE RWY, ENCOUNTERED A SLICK SPOT ON RWY. WITH THE XWIND, THE AIRPLANE SLID SIDEWAYS OFF RWY. L MAIN DROPPED OFF RWY ONTO SOFT GND AND SNOW. BECAUSE OF THIS COULD NOT BRING ACFT BACK ONTO RWY AND THIS PULLED THE ACFT FURTHER OFF THE RWY CAUSING NOSEWHEEL TO GO INTO THE SNOWBANK AND SNAP BACK AND PIVOT THE AIRPLANE ON THE NOSE STRIKING BOTH WINGTIPS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THAT HE DID NOT ASK AND THE UNICOM OPERATOR DID NOT VOLUNTEER THE RWY CONDITION DURING THE APCH. HE KNEW ABOUT THE XWIND BECAUSE OF HIS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS DURING THE APCH. AFTER HIS TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT WAS TRACKING DOWN THE CTRLINE OF THE RWY UNTIL IT ROLLED ONTO A PATCH OF ICE AND COMPACTED SNOW AT ABOUT 1000 FT DOWN THE RWY. AT THAT POINT THE ACFT STARTED TO WEATHER VANE AND SLIDE TOWARD THE L SIDE AND AFTER THE L MAIN GEAR STUCK IN THE SLUSH AND MUD THE ACFT SPUN TO THE L. DURING THIS MANEUVER THE NOSE GEAR SNAPPED AND THE ACFT ENDED UPON ITS NOSE SPINNING AND DAMAGING BOTH WINGTIPS. THE PLT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT AND WAS NOT INJURED. THE ACFT IS STILL UNDERGOING REPAIRS AND THE PLT SAID THAT THE ENG HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED, BUT HE DID NOT KNOW IF ANY DAMAGE HAD BEEN FOUND THERE. THE WINGTIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NEW NOSE GEAR ATTACHMENTS WERE INSTALLED, BUT NO NOSE GEAR YET. THE RPTR SAID THAT THE FAA DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT.
