Narrative:
After clearing runway in grr we were instructed to turn right into delta and hold short of echo. The taxiway was extremely snow covered. We were then instructed to give way to a crj. Upon approaching east the aircraft slid when full brakes were applied. We came to a stop pretty close to taxiway. I wasn't sure if the crj would be able to pass us. ATC must have seen this and the crj wasn't close to the intersection yet; as they instructed the crj to give way to us and gave us clearance to the ramp. I told ATC about how we slid when attempting to stop short of east. Snow covered taxiway that was slick and not being familiar with where echo is.
