Narrative:
I was the PNF on approach to runway 26L. The landing was on speed and in the touchdown zone. Braking action good. We slowed to below normal taxi speed and cleared the active. Tower requested us to expedite due to traffic on final. We knew where we were on the airport, due to yrs of experience landing at grr. We both had our airport diagrams out and available. In our effort to clear the runway, we became stuck in the snow -- we were below normal taxi speed. We did not have any centerline reference, but used the airport taxi lights to guide us. The txwys did not appear to have been plowed. We made sure we were clear and informed all appropriate parties. Realized we were stuck, informed tower and company. We did not realize we had departed any hard surface. An attempt was made with permission to tow the aircraft. After an inspection and pins, the attempt was not successful. The passenger were off-loaded at the scene without incident.
