With 30 players participating, they are able to hand-scoop all of the snow out of the way during the timeout.
The kicker drills the field goal because he has a clean area to kick.
Fair? Not fair? Legal?

I don't see how it's unfair based on the rules. However, I'm not sure how clearing that entire thing would help. It would seem like you'd really just need to clear the kicker's arc toward the spot and the spotting point. Maybe a place for the ball prior to the snap, too.
