The private pilot was landing in a tailwheel equipped airplane. The pilot stated in his written report that the airplane bounced on initial touchdown, and he attempted to abort the landing by applying full power. He said the airplane became airborne, veered to the left, and settled onto the runway edge. The pilot noted that during the second touchdown the left wheel contacted soft snow, and he was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane went off the left side of the 2,920 feet long by 60 feet wide runway, and came to rest in a ditch that borders the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing, right landing gear leg, and fuselage. The pilot noted that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing. A factor associated with the accident was a snowbank.
