Narrative: a/c was being marshaled in by ata mechanic at gate B-12. Chicago express a/c were parked 4 deep at next gate and over the line that was covered with snow. A Chicago express employee was "wing walking" the right wing of ata . He signaled the stop, but the a/c didn't stop in time due to the wet ramp. A/c struck the rudder of the Chicago express a/c with minor damage to it. Ata had no damage.
