The student pilot said that this was his first solo flight, and he was performing a stop-and-go landing. He said that during the landing roll, he let the airplane drift to the left allowing the left main wheel to impact a snow bank beside the runway. The airplane cartwheeled to the left bending both wing spars.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll. A contributing factor was the snow bank next to the runway.
