The pilot reported that, while on short final for a precautionary landing to an alternate airport covered with snow, with "extra speed" and about 10 feet above the ground, the airplane suddenly descended, landed hard, and bounced. The right main landing gear tire touched down again, caught the snow, and the airplane veered left. He then initiated a go-around, but the airplane struck a fence and impacted terrain.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
