Narrative:
Landed on 35R in denver and followed yellow turn off line thinking we were at Z/8, all signs were covered with snow. When we could not see any further taxi lights or markers ahead of us we stopped the aircraft to assess the situation. An airport vehicle in the vicinity advised us that we were at Z/6 and we had missed the hard left turn. He advised us that all wheels were on the pavement and we would be able to make the hard left turn. In attempting this the nose wheel slid off the pavement. The captain then set brakes, secured the engines and called for a tug. The nose gear was repositioned on the pavement. Aircraft was inspected and okay for taxi. We taxied to the gate. Further inspected and okay for service.
