Narrative:

After landing, I was instructed to make a 180 degree turn when able. As I did, the left main gear went off the edge of the runway into approximately 2 inches of snow. I requested and was granted permission to shut down and with the help of my passenger, pushed the aircraft backward onto the runway and taxied to the ramp.
