The counter-productive component of reverse thrust actually comes into play if the plane is crabbed into the wind.

A little hard to make out, but I didn't see the plane crabbing UPWIND at all, which would be the instinctive reaction. Same with aileron use. Wondering if they had some malfunction which induced left yaw (stuck brake, asymmetric thrust, steering)? Any of those would be recoverable on a dry runway (BTDT)...
I know this thread is speculation but I’m a novice at the landing on snow thing and this information is quite educational and not well covered in training. Thanks.
