Narrative:
I was flying a single engine cirrus SR20. I'm a student pilot [and] filed a VFR flight plan. Landing on runway 27 was fine (wind at time was 310 at 10); I taxied back to runway 27 for VFR departure back to home base. After applying full power the aircraft started to veer to the left and I applied right rudder and power idle to regain control. The aircraft slid off runway about 1;000 ft down. I think this situation was caused by patchy ice on the runway; and strong crosswind. I could have prevented this by slowly applying power to get a feel for the icy runway and also apply crosswind correction during takeoff.
