Prior to departure the Field Condition Report (FCR) stated that PUW runway and taxiways were bare and dry and the braking action was Good.  With this perceived condition; I planned on having the new hire student (First Officer) conduct the RNP approach with landing.  When we popped out of the clouds; we both noticed that the airport runway and taxiways were not bare and dry.  They were covered with snow; roughly an inch of dry snow.  Two taxiways to clear the runway (B and C) were closed due to high snow berms and a few inches of snow on them.  The braking action on the runway and taxiways was FAIR and the ramp was POOR.  Even at 5 knots GS turning into our parking spot; we slid just a little bit. The primary cause of this event was an incorrect FCR. This compromised the safety of the operation because the PF was the FO in-training.
Check airman reports allowing a new hire First Officer to fly the approach and landing to PUW based on a FCR (Field Condition Report) stating that the runway and taxiways were bare and dry and the braking action was Good. This turns out not to be the case; with new snow and snow berms at some runway exits.
