Event Description
A student pilot reported that during a takeoff from Runway 19, the wind sock still indicated a crosswind but it was not constant. After taxiing back to Runway 19, the pilot applied full throttle with no flaps and maintained full right aileron. According to the pilot's recollection, the aircraft reached about 58 knots and became airborne. At that point, the pilot stated that the heading changed from straight to an abrupt move toward the left, and the aircraft struck a snow bank on the left side.
