THE AIRCRAFT BROKE THROUGH CRUSTED SNOW ON A COUNTY ROAD DURING LANDING AND ROLLED OVER. THE HELICOPTER WAS ON A BUSINESS FLIGHT AND THE PILOT DID NOT CLAIM ANY MECHANICAL DISCREPANCIES. THE WEATHER WAS VMC AND NONE OF THE 3 OCCUPANTS WERE INJURED. THE SNOW AT THE SCENE WAS ABOUT 4 FEET DEEP. DURING THE RUN ON LANDING THE SKIDS BROKE THROUGH THE CRUSTED TOP OF THE SNOW CAUSING THE HELICOPTER TO TIP FOWARD STRIKING THE MAIN ROTOR BLADES. THE AIRCRAFT YAWED TO THE RIGHT AND CAME TO REST ON ITS LEFT SIDE.
