Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane overran the end of a snow covered runway during the takeoff ground roll and collided with sagebrush and a fence. The pilot had landed uneventfully at the airport to pickup two passengers. He observed that there was about 3 inches of snow on the runway but it was not snowing at the time. During the takeoff roll he had difficulty getting the plane out of the snow. As the airplane approached the end of the runway the airspeed dissipated, and the airplane continued off the end of the runway and collided with sagebrush and a fence. The pilot stated that he did not abort the takeoff in time to avoid departing the end of the runway.
