How to Prevent Slushy Spring Snow?

I saved snow from Monday's snowstorm that hit the east for a tiny rail jam with some friends tomorrow. Once I lay the snow out into a path and a jump I don't want it to too soft. Does anyone know how to keep slushy snow somewhat firm when it is warm? Does salt work? I think I saw people doing that before.
Thanks

Sorry, I realize that's impractical and silly.... just put SPF 30 on the snow.

you can also mix in some asbestos. it is very fibrous which will make it more "firm". It's also waterproof and fire retardant in case the homies start dropping heaters at the jam tomorrow

Water it if it drops to below freezing, then it'll ice over and be harder that slush
