Ice Melt Training: Stay Safe This Winter
When winter hits, ice and snow can turn sidewalks, parking lots, and roads into dangerous places. If your job includes keeping those areas safe, it’s important to know how to pick the right ice melt and use it the right way. That’s where Desert Mountain Corporation’s Ice Melt Training comes in. We’re here to help you get the job done right, save money, and keep people safe.
What’s Covered in the In-Person Ice Melt Training?
This isn’t only a classroom full of charts and paperwork. It’s also a hands-on, real-world training built for people who work drive the snowplows and spreader trucks and take pride in doing things right.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Types of Ice Melt Products
Not all ice melt is the same. You’ll get to know the differences between granular like Ice Slicer and liquid products like MeltDown, and when to use each one. - How to Choose the Right Product
We’ll show you how to pick the best product based on current and incoming weather conditions, surface types, and temperatures. - Best Ways to Apply It
In our ice melt training, learn the best application amounts, when to apply it, and tips for using less product without cutting corners on safety. - Staying Safe While You Work
Ice melt can be tough on people, equipment, and concrete. We’ll cover the right way to handle it and protect your team and your property. - How to Make Your Budget Go Further
Nobody wants to waste material or blow through their winter budget. We’ll help you get more lane miles out of every load.

If you’re responsible for clearing ice and snow, this training is for you. That includes:
