If so that would be a curious choice for a 2500m ice-contaminated runway.
I was wondering when I saw the video, if the flaps were less than normal. As for landing short, I also wondered if there could have been a flat light situation combined with no PAPI/glideslope. It looks OK out the side window due to the trees but perhaps the forward view was more whiteoutish.

That being said, there does seem to be pavement visible for the runway instead of 100% snow cover so, who knows.
