Following a flight from ZZZZ to ZZZZ1 arrival at XA:50 local; I parked the aircraft on the north apron and installed all covers for protection.At approximately XF:00 local time; it started snowing lightly around the airport.Upon receiving a message from the passengers to inform me that they would be at the airport at XG:30 local; I went directly to the aircraft to prepare for departure. This involves taking the protection covers away from engines; pitot tubes and static wick dischargers also preforming a check on electrical heated pitot tubes; static sensors and various other checks and tests (pre-flight).The passengers arrived at the aircraft XG:55 local (approx.) and boarded. At this time; it had started snowing more heavily and I instructed [the] FBO to contact company for a Type I de-ice and Type IV anti-ice for the aircraft. The de-icing vehicle arrived shortly after XH:00 (approx.) and I spoke with the de-icing operator and FBO representative for the co-ordination of the de-icing and anti-icing of the aircraft. This involved me explaining exactly which surfaces I wanted to be treated and I showed the de-icing operator a diagram from the aircraft AFM to provide visual explanation.I was informed by the FBO that ZZZZ1 were to close the runway for snow removal from XH:00 - XH:25 local; I therefore requested the de-icing and anti-icing to begin at XH:20 to be finished within a 15-20 mins timescale and to be ready for start and taxi with taking into consideration the 'holdover time' tolerance.I was present on the apron ramp the whole time that the de-icing operator preformed the de-ice and anti-ice procedure and confirm that this was preformed correctly.Once the vehicles and personal had moved away and following a final external visual check of the aircraft; I secured the door from the inside and informed the passengers that we would be on our way shortly.Following a request for start; taxi and departure clearance and after performing all checks and aircraft test required; I started the taxi from the spot on the north apron. This was without event. ATC requested that the aircraft stop and hold short at holding point north apron 1 due to arriving and departing traffic. After a wait at 1 of maybe two minutes; ATC announced that we would not be able to depart; as they were to close the runway for a second snow removal. I informed ATC that we had de-iced and anti-iced; had start; taxi and departure clearance and was able to depart from intersection 1 with 2750 meters available. Cessna performance calculations based upon meteorological conditions at the time of aircraft start showed that 1027 meters was needed to perform and safe departure.After lining up on runway XX and upon receiving ATC clearance for departure; I applied approximately 75% power whilst holding the toe brakes to confirm that the engines were performing correctly following the de-icing and anti-icing. With engine parameters correct; I released the toe brakes; increased power on the engines to take off power (FADEC) and the aircraft started its ground roll. A cross check between the two airspeed indicators (PFD's 1 & 2) at 70 knots confirmed that I could continue the take-off roll. Upon reaching the calculated V1 (91 knots) and VR speed (98 knots); I applied a normal force to the aircraft yoke which moved in the normal manner; but the aircraft did not rotate. A little more the normal force was then used and still the aircraft would not rotate. The aircraft seemed to be 'stuck' to the snow on the runway. A rejected take-off (RTO) was performed without event.A considerable distance was required to stop the aircraft. Once controlled I taxied and exited the aircraft onto taxiway at 2 holding point on the south side. Conversation with ATC informed me that I was to stop and await the fire services who were on their way. Fire services gave the all clear and ATC requested that I was to follow the 'follow me' vehicle to the parking ramp. Once at parking position south side and after all required checks; I shut down the engines and spoke with the fire services about the RTO.Runway XX was now closed as scheduled for a second snow runway removal.I disembarked the passengers and after a visual check of the aircraft to establish if there was any evidence of why the aircraft would not rotate; I re-installed all protection covers and left the aircraft on parking ramp as it was now dark.Upon arrival at the aircraft [the next morning]; I completed a thorough visual inspection to establish a possible cause to the rejected take off but could not find anything for explanation.As the anti-icing fluid was covering the aircraft; the aircraft was clean of ice and snow. Following all ground checks and system checks; a normal departure was performed without event.
Cessna Citation pilot reported that during the takeoff role on a snow-covered runway; the aircraft would not rotate although more than normal yoke control force was used. The pilot rejected the takeoff and returned to parking.
