THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING REPOSITIONED FOR AN AIR TAXI OPERATION. THE PILOT BEGAN TAKING OFF ON A SLUSH COVERED RUNWAY. HE REPORTED THAT AS THE AIRCRAFT ACCELERATED, THE NOSEWHEEL BEGAN TO SLING WATER AND SLUSH OFF THE RUNWAY AND ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. HE RAISED THE NOSEWHEEL SLIGHTLY TO ELIMINATE THIS DISTRACTION. AT ABOUT THAT POINT, THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED TO THE RIGHT. REPORTEDLY, THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY MOVED BOTH POWER LEVERS BACK TO THE REVERSE TO ABORT. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SWERVED ABRUPTLY TO THE LEFT, BUT CONTINUED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
