THE STUDENT PILOT WAS AT THE CONTROLS DURING A LANDING ON RUNWAY 04. THE WIND WAS FROM 330 DEGREES AT 15 KNOTS. THE INSTRUCTOR REPORTED THAT THE PLANE WAS SLIPPED TO THE LEFT ON SHORT FINAL, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE RIGHT WHEEL STRUCK A SNOWBANK. THE STUDENT APPLIED FULL POWER AND THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT AND STRUCK ANOTHER SNOWBANK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE INSTRUCTOR TRIED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL BUT WAS TOO LATE. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED SNOW AND OVERTURNED.
