Around the Rainy Pass area there is some heavy, waist deep snow, as reported by Craig Medred in The Anchorage Daily News. This presents a huge task to the many volunteers who work at keeping the trail open. Mushers are required to carry snowshoes and may need to use them this year. Climbing a mountain pass with a sixteen dog team with the musher on snow shoes is a daunting task.
