It also looks like a light silver color instead of white.

It's worth noting that drivers of white cars (especially Alpine White) are the most skilled drivers in the world.

Colorado has extensive laws that require the use of winter tires and/or snow chains under such conditions, so I'd bet at least some, if not all of those cars had them.
