For some time, the snow will definitely not stick.

Paraffin

Take a regular candle and rub the work surfaces with it. You can heat the shovel with a construction hair dryer and quickly treat the hot surface.

Ski wax

A wooden shovel can be treated with ski wax. However, it works even when applied to metal and plastic shovels.

Vaseline and WD-40 aerosol have the same effect.
