Ground effect gets screwy in crosswinds, the windward side has higher pressure so you have to roll into it a bit. But he lost the wind right at the end and the right gear collapsed.

If the gear had held he probably would have been alright.

Crosswind landings are one of the first things you learn to do when learning to fly.

Snow on the ground amplifies this too. Irregular drifts can play havoc with the eddies, eh?

Plus it makes the location of the actual ground more difficult to see. Like landing a floatplane on a lake.
