THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING A SOFT FIELD LANDING WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. HE STATED THAT WHILE KEEPING THE NOSE OFF THE GROUND THE AIRPLANE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY. HE ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT HE APPLIED LEFT RUDDER AS HE WAS CONCENTRATING ON KEEPING THE NOSE OFF THE GROUND. THE STUDENT THEN APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER BUT STATED THIS HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON STOPPING THE DRIFT. THE AIRPLANE CONTACTED A SNOWBANK ALONGSIDE THE RUNWAY AND NOSED DOWN.
