That is so neat! I've seen that before and I always wondered how the fox doesn't hurt its neck by diving head first into the snow like that.
Where I live, for the last three nights I've heard a red fox barking/screaming---apparently this is something they do during the breeding season. I've had the good luck to look out my window and see one trotting down to the beach. :-) I guess humans aren't the only ones who think beaches are romantic.
It's a small sandy New England beach ringed by a suburban neighborhood....foxes are everywhere here. I've seen them foraging along the high tide line in the racks of seaweed, and also one who almost caught a duck floating in the shallows.
There's a nearby state park (along a very rocky part of the shoreline), where the foxes are so accustomed to people they completely ignore us. One time at dusk we watched a fox catching these big brown beetles as they were rising from the grass into the air---it was a riot!
