The Fairbanks route bypasses Rainy Pass & joins the regular course just west of the snowless area.<br /><br />The organizers have long since laid out multiple routes, for just such a reason. I give 'em credit for being prepared.Rev.

Most of the heavy snow is nearer the ocean, where the temps are moderated a bit, and there's plenty of humidity. But yes, it's unusual for the affected areas mentioned in the article to have so little snow. Rev.
