Options for slippery side steps?

I have an '06 with chrome oem side steps with black plastic grips. It is snowy where I am and they get pretty slick. They are not terrible, but when I am putting the baby in his car seat I would like something better.
Thanks folks.

To clarify I am probably looking for a bolt on type solution.
Something? Anything?

Skate tape works pretty well for other things, it's basically sand paper with a stick backing. You can probably find it anywhere they sell skate boards.

Are you using any kind of dressing on the pads? I find that dressings are too slick, and usually use something like bleechwhite to clean the muck off, and then glass cleaner to keep them looking nice.

Look, see these two tow hooks? They look like tusks. And what kind of animal has tusks?

Good advise. I would prefer something more course that would work if iced over, but if I don't think of anything else this will do nicely.
No dressing, I just wash em with car wash detergent and water. Though I would like to find a bottle of that back to black stuff to make sure they stay nice are new looking.

back to black is still pretty slick. Bleech white, a tooth brush and some towels will clean it to black without getting slippery.
