those props look like they had a bit of power on when they hit

Beta doesn't gun anything, it just allows you to go beyond the low pitch stop.

The best solution is to stay on the runway.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the english expression. I meant that the pilots may have had full throttle open in their attempt to slow down.
And the stating-the-obvious award of the year goes to....

The runway had between three and four inches of relatively fresh snow on it.
There is some speculation that when the plane landed, it hit a patch of snow that was heavier packed.
Could the snow have played some role in the incident?
How long will it take the safety agency to complete their investigation as to the cause and contributing factors to the incident?
Thanks for your speculation! Having absolutely no frame of reference whatsoever to do with flying, any insight will help me do my job better.
Also, to the original poster, thank you for giving The Badger proper credit for the photo and for linking to the site. I appreciate it.

“Maple Creek is sort of an anomaly right on the boundary between two regions between FIC Winnipeg and FIC Edmonton,” said Hildebrand. “And the information was not readily available to the controllers (in Winnipeg) that were handling this flight.”

As for stating the obvious, I'm afraid it just doesn't seem that obvious these days. Many chief pilots and operations managers, rather than seeing runway excursions as a real risk that needs to be examined and prevented (predictable is preventable), see runway excursions as something that "just happens" or is "part of the business". This leads to most pilots thinking the same thing.

Wow, someone coming to the defense of a reporter!

Here is a suggestion:

Ask the people here how pilots operate airplanes where there is no one at the airport / landing area to report on the condition of the area a pilot is planning on landing on.

rigpiggy, FYI The original Beech 200 had a 3 blade prop. You are correct in that a 4 blade was optional. The Raisbeck mod gave it a slightly different 4 blade Hartzell. The later B200 had a 4 blade prop as standard. .
