Why in cold countries people sprinkle salt on snow?
Salt lowers the melting/freezing temperature of water, thus causing ice and snow to melt. However in places where it is VERY COLD the salt cannot lower the melting/freezing temperature enough to cause it to melt, so sand is used instead as it improves traction, even with the ice and snow still there.

Why are cold places cold?
not neccesarily because of the cold climates but since they have a high altitude they get the snow that doesnt melt before reaching the point where humans live, where it is warmer. mountains are cold themselves
