Narrative:

Taxiing from maintenance base between hangars with aircraft X, aircraft started sliding on snow covered ramp. When I applied brakes to maintain control, aircraft slid into aircraft ZZZ. I was making a right turn between aircraft ZZZ and the hangar. Ground equipment was located on left side which I was watching closely to clear aircraft. I was sitting in left seat. Ramp was slippery due to fresh snow.
