Narrative:
I landed a king air 100 and shortly after landing; the aircraft started to drift left. All of my corrective actions failed; and the left main hit a large snow drift on the left edge of runway (inside runway lights). Aircraft slid and turned left into snow off of runway. Propellers and engines irreparable; nose landing gear buckled under nose. No injury to 3 people inside. I was on a pat 135 EMS flight to pick up a patient. Prior to departing; I received a WX brief and asked for NOTAMS at ZZZ and told there were none concerning the airport. Upon landing I discovered a runway with slush covering ice. There were no NOTAMS indicating icy runways. If small airports are going to keep their airports in operation during the winter months when adverse WX affects runway condition; they should have a system in place that requires airport auths to provide runway condition NOTAMS when WX turns adverse; ie; icing. That information should be available to pilots contemplating landing there after hours.

Title: B100 PLT LANDS ON ICY RWY AND LOSES DIRECTIONAL CTL. ACFT IMPACTS SNOW BANK AND DAMAGES NOSE GEAR; PROPS; AND ENGS. EVAC; NO INJURIES.
Narrative: I LANDED A KING AIR 100 AND SHORTLY AFTER LNDG; THE ACFT STARTED TO DRIFT L. ALL OF MY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS FAILED; AND THE L MAIN HIT A LARGE SNOW DRIFT ON THE L EDGE OF RWY (INSIDE RWY LIGHTS). ACFT SLID AND TURNED L INTO SNOW OFF OF RWY. PROPS AND ENGS IRREPARABLE; NOSE LNDG GEAR BUCKLED UNDER NOSE. NO INJURY TO 3 PEOPLE INSIDE. I WAS ON A PAT 135 EMS FLT TO PICK UP A PATIENT. PRIOR TO DEPARTING; I RECEIVED A WX BRIEF AND ASKED FOR NOTAMS AT ZZZ AND TOLD THERE WERE NONE CONCERNING THE ARPT. UPON LNDG I DISCOVERED A RWY WITH SLUSH COVERING ICE. THERE WERE NO NOTAMS INDICATING ICY RWYS. IF SMALL ARPTS ARE GOING TO KEEP THEIR ARPTS IN OP DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN ADVERSE WX AFFECTS RWY CONDITION; THEY SHOULD HAVE A SYS IN PLACE THAT REQUIRES ARPT AUTHS TO PROVIDE RWY CONDITION NOTAMS WHEN WX TURNS ADVERSE; IE; ICING. THAT INFO SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PLTS CONTEMPLATING LNDG THERE AFTER HRS.
