Narrative:

Ipt (initial pilot training) with dry snow 1 as a known condition. Notams listed the airport as 3/3/3. Tower told us braking action medium to poor and cleared us to land. On the last 500 ft of approach; I strictly stayed on ref speed. I saw the snow covered runway and I made sure to just put the aircraft down with little finesse to ensure maximum runway for stopping. I landed and [applied reverse thrust]. I got on the brakes simultaneously and immediately noticed that the braking action was poor to nil. I did everything I possibly could to stop the aircraft and it took most of the runway to stop. The end of the runway was nil braking action. I tried to turn off the runway at a slow crawl and could not turn due to the nose wheel sliding on ice. The entire taxiways and ramp were ice covered under the dry snow. I am submitting the safety report because I don't think I should have landed on the runway due to the ice covered dry snow. However; the ice was never reported.ice covered by dry snow not properly notamed. Furthermore; tower said nothing to us about the ice during the landing clearance. We were unable to listen to ATIS because of the mountain in the way. ATC gave us the ATIS and said nothing about braking action.properly document runway conditions. That runway probably should have been 1/1/1. The next day; I went out to the runway with the airport ops and the ice was still on the runway.
