CFIT - Nose First

It appears the aircraft hit the slope nose first, compacting the front fuselage up to the wing root, the massive deceleration causing the tail to tear up and off while the engines parted their mounts, followed by a virtual explosion of the shattered front fuselage over the hilltop chasing the lobbed center section. Peace be with them...

Here is a huge collection of images, including some of the "missing" front fuselage (pieces) and one of part of the cockpit.
