Stain very worn after less than a year on new deck

Hello, I stained my new deck in august, and now after the winter it's all very worn. Not sure what I did wrong. The visible portions of the deck are in cedar, which we let dry out for 1 year. we then sanded everything and washed it. 1 week after that without rain we stained with a semi-transparent oil-based stain.

edit: I'm in canada so maybe the rough winters are especially bad?
