The 2012 Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc saw bad weather with snow up top and heavy showers at the bottom, as such the course was cut short to only 100kms.
This year North Face managed to stream the race live using a series of webcams along the course and live video was diffused on Ultratrail.tv

However in case you missed it all, this UTMB video gives a glimpse of the conditions the ultra-runners had to deal with and shows that even the supporters were not put off by the pouring rain!
