Narrative:
Being cleared for the ILS 28 approach, we located the airport runway at 600 ft AGL with a visibility of 3/4 mi. On the rollout, the first officer commented don't use reverse because of the '1-3 inches of new snow that was on the runway,' so I allowed the aircraft to roll past the taxiway. I turned the aircraft around and with the white clouds, new snow on the ground and light snow falling, I saw the blue taxi can and I turned onto what I thought was the taxiway. I thought that the txwys were not plowed. I added power. At that time the first officer said when he noticed that there was no taxi can on his side, that we were not on the taxiway. I started to reduce power when the nosewheel hit an uneven surface and collapsed. We performed the emergency checklist, and evacuate/evacuationed the passenger uneventfully.

Title: WHILE EXITING THE RWY, MISSED TXWY AND TAXIED INTO SNOW. NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
Narrative: BEING CLRED FOR THE ILS 28 APCH, WE LOCATED THE ARPT RWY AT 600 FT AGL WITH A VISIBILITY OF 3/4 MI. ON THE ROLLOUT, THE FO COMMENTED DON'T USE REVERSE BECAUSE OF THE '1-3 INCHES OF NEW SNOW THAT WAS ON THE RWY,' SO I ALLOWED THE ACFT TO ROLL PAST THE TXWY. I TURNED THE ACFT AROUND AND WITH THE WHITE CLOUDS, NEW SNOW ON THE GND AND LIGHT SNOW FALLING, I SAW THE BLUE TAXI CAN AND I TURNED ONTO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE TXWY. I THOUGHT THAT THE TXWYS WERE NOT PLOWED. I ADDED PWR. AT THAT TIME THE FO SAID WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO TAXI CAN ON HIS SIDE, THAT WE WERE NOT ON THE TXWY. I STARTED TO REDUCE PWR WHEN THE NOSEWHEEL HIT AN UNEVEN SURFACE AND COLLAPSED. WE PERFORMED THE EMER CHKLIST, AND EVACED THE PAX UNEVENTFULLY.
