I don't think slide toppers would be any defense against snow anyway.
If it were me, I would cut a piece of plastic to cover the roof area of the slide. Then lift it off just before bringing the slide in.

You probably wonโt like my remedy! This is something that we experience a few times a year... we winter camp in Wyoming. The method is โnotโ fun and is dangerous, I sweep off the tops of the slides soon after the snowfall, before it melts and then re-freezes. The experience can take years off of your life just from the stress....more if you fall off ?? !
On another forum, a gentleman had a good remedy....if you have slide toppers. He built a support system (kind of like a tent ridge pole) out of pvc tubbing and fittings. He would slide the support between the slide roof and the topper. Helped minimize the snow/ice buildup, plus with a little creativity...remove the buildup off of the topper, without it getting on the slide top.

Consider adding a slide awning to just keep the snow off.
