How can I keep deck finish safe during winter?

We have a semi transparent stain on our front wooden deck. Living in Michigan, we will be using it through the winter, and will need to keep the snow and ice off of it. I thought sweeping the snow rather than shoveling (not sure if practical). What about ice? Will pet friendly salt hurt the finish? I am concerned about what it will look like in the Spring! I don't want to have to stain it every year. Thanks for your insights.

Spray on a wood preservative, available at Lowe's or most any hardware store. The water will bead up rather than soak in.
