Narrative

THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS ON HIS FIRST 
   SUPERVISED SOLO. AFTER LANDING ON RWY 26, A 4,300 X 100 FT CONCRETE 
   RWY, THE PILOT ADDED POWER AND ALLOWED THE ACFT TO TURN LEFT OF THE 
   CENTERLINE. RIGHT RUDDER WAS APPLIED BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE LEFT TURN. 
   THE AC FT CONTACTED A SNOW BANK AND GROUND LOOPED TO THE LEFT. THE ACFT 
   CAME TO REST OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY.
