Do grey fox change color in the winter?

[Bullelk]

Why, I was traveling over white pass this weekend and saw a fox I think, cross the road. It was white with some gray, it was cool. If it wasn't fox I'm not sure what it was, please help.

I've never heard of them changing color however there are red fox and blue fox in Washington. You probably seen a blue.

You probably saw a silver fox, which is a color phase red fox.Here is a pic of one at Mt Rainier.

Thanks sako223, that is what I saw with a little more white, it was 11:30 pm, 40 mph, did stop and back up, to get a better look but he was gone. Thanks for the help!

About 10 years ago going over white pass with my dad, we saw a fox that we both thought was a gray fox.  But after looking at sako223's link it was for sure a silver fox.

I've trapped a lot of gray fox and seen them all times of the year. I've never seen any variance in color from season to season.
