Why put salt on snow to reduce friction?

Unless it is bitterly cold (below zero Fahrenheit) salt will at the least "corrode" snow, causing it to pit and weaken. Pressure put on that ice will crumble the surface somewhat, making it less smooth and slippery - hence offering a better grip, and salt that does not melt ice because of extremely low temperature can act as a coarse "grit" itself. But sand is much more effective in such an application, and is not temperature dependent.
