The trick is to get a layer of salt on the steps BEFORE it snows. Then when it does snow the snow will either melt if not too heavy, or peel right off the steps if heavy/packed.

I have natural stone steps that are a NIGHTMARE to shovel/de-ice. A dozen of them with no hand rail makes bringing in a baby, elderly relatives, groceries, etc a chore. But if I’ve pre-treated I can walk up and down them all day packing the snow down and still just peel it off with the shovel. So satisfying.
