Narrative:
Lgd airport; landed runway 12. During taxi from runway to the hangar I was following the taxiway centerline as that kept the aircraft clear of obstacles. During this taxi as I approached what is to be a left-hand turn into my parking spot the aircraft had a slight nudge and as I'm looking out the left hand windscreen my crew member said I think the right hand wing skipped over a snow berm. Post shut down and inspection the snow berm that the fiberglass radome glanced off of was not fully plowed away from the taxiway to make reflectors and edge markings clear. So as my attention was focused on the left hand turn and parking the right-hand wing was neglected.result: division of attention was not consistent during taxi and parking.environmental conditions: night; low light from nearby hangars; unclear taxiway edge markings.
