As the pilot taxied onto the runway, he could not see the centerline because the runway was covered with 3 inches of snow. He applied full power for the takeoff and during the takeoff roll, the airplane's left main landing gear caught the edge of a snow bank, and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. The pilot stated he was unaware of his position to the left of the runway centerline during the takeoff, and reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain proper runway alignment during the takeoff roll. A factor was the snow-covered runway.
