Pilots tried to land in snowstorm at a CLOSED airport. They ran into a snowplow clearing the runway. Collision ripped a wing off the plane, Luckily there were no fatalities  and apparently no serious injuries. It sure could have been much worse.

Not the way to start a ski vacation...

From what I understand, it was a private flight (all flights are to that airport I think) and possibly from Mexico.
