Abstract: The removable non-skid pad covers a portion of a corresponding step of an exterior stair or staircase so as to allow people to use it more safely. The pad comprises a main section to be disposed on the upper horizontal portion of the step, a preformed substantially hooked-shaped from section having one end integrally connected to the front end of the main section so as to fit around the front edge and a part of the bottom portion of the step near the front edge, and a rear section having one end integrally connected to the rear end of the main section. A binding assembly is provided to removably attach the front and rear sections under the step. The pad may be easily installed and removed. Any snow or ice accumulations may be easily dislodged by removing the pad and skating it.
