niche but very cool idea.
Would it actually have to be stair shaped though? Triangular or maybe even just rectangular would also work probably and then put steps on top and let heat transfer take care of the more complicated shapes? It wouldn't need to get very hot either.

You run the fire to melt a bunch of snow. Evening comes, snow falls, it's just warm enough to melt it as it settles but then refreezes.
Haven't you just made a lethal set of ice steps, with ice frozen to the surface that is going to be difficult to remove?
With cold steps, don't you just shovel the loose freshly fallen snow off?
