During crosswind landing and transition to taxi; a gust of wind turned the non-event into an adventure into a snow bank along the runway. A gust lifted the wing and turned the plane towards the runway edge. I made every effort to correct; but the momentum kept me in that direction. Once the main was into the snow I could not maintain directional control and the nose also dug into the snow and we slowly flipped over on the planes back. Cause was not enough directional control and lack of planning. I would like to suggest more control input and focus.
