The lore goes on to say that these holdouts eventually all submitted to the Dwemer as they could not escape thier enemies. How could the Snow Elves have survived?

The same way the one that got you Aurial's Bow survived...seclusion and purpose. And to respond to something else said earlier, that same Snow Elf that helped you mentioned that it was only the blindness caused by the Dwemer...their devolution, if you will, was caused by something else entirely.
