He applied full power to go around, but the airplane continued right, and the main landing gear impacted a snowbank and the left wing impacted terrain.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
