Analysis
The private pilot reported that he was on landing rollout on the runway when the left main gear hit a patch of ice on the runway and the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot’s efforts to correct the veer were unsuccessful and the airplane spun more than 90 degrees nose to the left and impacted terrain and a snowbank. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane’s fuselage, right wing, and right wing strut were substantially damaged during the accident.
