This is the best style of non-skid pad for snow conditions. The sandpaper style is appropriate for interior, dry, conditions. But they're almost useless in snow. The deeper profile of the rubber grips on this pad makes a big difference. I use these on my skid steer where it's real easy to slip when climbing in-and-out in snowy conditions. So far, this rubber stick-on pad has worked well. I have to replace them every few years... but, such is life.
