it melts the snow into water then it freezes and makes the inrun faster.

it causes the snow to ice up making it firm...but not the salt you useon your walkway infront of your house...that shit melts ice. this stuff is more like fertilizer...

I only use it when the snow doesnt pack... melts it a little and warms the temperature of the snow and makes it packable.
makes it faster too.
