Narrative:

After a normal approach and landing to ril runway 26, the aircraft slid off the end of the runway. On final, the braking action was reported as 'mu 35-45' (poor to fair). Actual braking action was nil. No apparent damage to aircraft. Since the airport was uncontrolled and had not been shut down, we elected to move the plane off the dirt to clear the centerline in case another aircraft attempted to land. This incident serves to re-emphasize the need to exercise extreme caution on landing in mountainous/cold WX airports and the need to be skeptical of any information. Supplemental information from acn 570339: normal touchdown and brake application. Report of mu 35-45, actual mu 15-20.
