Sad picture, the skipper was obviously unable to see the centerline markings of the snow and ice covered taxiway N and the left boogie went into the snow-covered gras just after the Q-crossing. Aircraft stuck with wheels deeply in the mud.
Airport services attended immediately and after about 40 minutes the passengers were disembarked through fwd R1 door. Apparently no one injured, just an embarrassing incident.
Be safe and slow down in these conditions, had myself a high-speed AF disobeyeing ATC instructions to give way, and also a towing unit with AF A320 not even on the frequency cutting me off.
