Probable cause

The student pilot's loss of directional control during the landing rollout, resulting in a runway excursion.

NTSB narrative

The student pilot stated that he executed a go-around on the first approach for landing at the destination airport and the second approach for landing was normal. As the airplane touched down, the wind pushed it to the right. The airplane traveled off the right side of the runway and impacted a snow bank, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing spar. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.
