Analysis
The student plt was on a supervised, solo, x-country flt from mosinee, WI, to Oshkosh, WI, green bay, WI, then return to mosinee. The first leg of the flight was flown with no problem. Before takeoff at oshkosk, the student was taxiing southbound with a left quarting tail wind when he encountered an icy area on the taxiway. Reportedly, the controls were positioned properly for the wind conditions. As the acft crossed the icy area, it began to slide to the right. The student reported that the right main wheel hit pavement which stopped the slide. However, at the same time, the acft banked right & the right wing struck the ground. The student reported that the winds were from the northeast at 15, gusting 20 KTS. The 1455 CST wind at Oshkosh was reported from 040 deg at 18 KTS.
