After touchdown on the ice and snow covered runway, the airplane began drifting to the right. The pilot attempted to correct with left rudder input; however, the airplane continued to the right and the right main landing gear entered the snow off the runway surface. The airplane impacted a snowbank, nosed over and came to rest inverted sustaining substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
