I landed on Runway XX and my airspeed was approximately 76 knots. As soon as I touched ground; I slowed down in order to follow Controller directions. The Controller asked if I could make Taxiway Alpha X. By that point; I had already passed the taxiway and responded to the Controller in which I stated negative. The Controller's commands were to make a left turn at Taxiway Golf. I then proceeded to slow down and pulled back on the yoke to the turn left onto Taxiway Golf. Before fully exiting the runway; the tires of the plane became stuck on the snow ground and I was not able to move forward. The Controller questioned me and asked if I was able to move forward. I replied that I was unable to and that I was stuck in the snow. The Controller responded back and said hold tight; ground operations was on their way. As ground operations came; I shut off the plane and aided the ground operations staff in pushing the plane backwards. We successfully pushed the plane out of the snow.I started the plane back up and I was then able to make a U-turn back onto the Runway XX and taxi onto Alpha Y. The sign for Bravo (B) was not visible and I exited off of Alpha Y; made the left turn for Alpha and then right turn for Bravo.This experience taught me to avoid any taxiways that appear to have ice or snow on them. I also learned that I must make the judgement as being the pilot in command. As the pilot in command; I have the ability to deny requests made by Air Traffic Controller if I cannot adhere to their request promptly. I must note that it is important that all parties involved must remain safe; since safety is a priority of mine.
