Ford Fiesta Caught In A Blizzard!

We received a call for a Ford Fiesta that was stuck in the snow on the lava point Road.
Lava point Road is on Kolob mountain, and leads to a portion of Zion national park.
We found the customer in the same spot we find almost everybody on this road. It is a nasty, 1/4 mile long dip that has several features that makes it difficult to climb out of.
We were able to hook up to the car and get it pulled to the top with relative ease, but I also noticed that the ice sheet was starting to form that is a characteristic of this particular “trap”
The customer noticed that we were shorthanded on the filming crew, and offered to help by flying the drone, and running the camera, alternately.
It turns out she was an accomplished drone pilot.
Without her efforts, I don’t think we could have captured the shot on this one.

I've never commented on a YT video. I'm not into Jeeps, off-roading or towing either. Something about this channel is awesome and I can't stop watching. There is something to be said about making an honest living and going home to a great family. What a beautiful state you folks live in. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@BikingVikingHH]

Yeet Cannon That’s actually all that life is about. This hedonistic, superficial, follow your impulse and be happy in the moment bullshit is just an intentionally destructive narrative being pushed by those that wish to profit off of the fall of western civilization.

[@saschakaupp]

Matt is a cool person with a great team, does something that requires skill, all videos feature good camera work and often Matt is even paying dog tax! :)

[@papajj3]

Yeppirs, I could binge watch all day. especially like the music!

[@2our]

I was literally about to say the same thing

[@bayguzmanjr8470]

Same here everytime Matt has a new vid i watch and like.

[@joelrdizon]

It's unhealthy how many times I've watched this video...when I followed the links to Carlin Ma's photography and music I just fell off my seat thinking about how much humility it took for someone so accomplished in her own right to just jump in and help film this recovery like it was nothing. She didn't even drop a hint that she was actually a real celebrity. No wonder Carlin Ma and Matt's crew met up like this, it's destiny. Genuine humble people flock together...

The director, aka cameraman, seems like he is the busiest guy out there.

seems like he has so much fun getting creative shots.

Need a gopro on the dogs. I would love to see it from their perspective.

This would be great to try out. I just commented that these are two of the happiest dogs on earth.

Most people have no idea how skilled Matt is. The territory covered by Winder Towing has many different terrains and each requires a different set of driving skills, let alone doing vehicle recovery. Kudos to the whole Winder Team!

[@libertyauto]

How cool is that when the customer becomes part of the film crew! Great job guys. Good recovery, good video. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a fun day for everybody right there! Years of memories!

The recovery was the easy part of the job. Documenting it for us all was clearly far more work.

[@dhscts]

Missing snow?? School closed at noon. Just got word it's closed tomorrow too. Many of local highways are closed. Where would you like it sent to???

[@barten39]

And this was even not the real making-off: - installing the snow-cannons - renting the Focus - hiring the actors 🤣

I miss snow as much as much as the last plantar wart removed a decade ago ! Shoveled, froze in that crap for decades !

Is it just me, but I love seeing a bright yellow XJ against the powder white snow.👍

Dang, desert heat and mountain blizzards. Max and Lady see it all!

[@brendanmaruyama2407]

wow the recording process almost seems harder then the damn recovery !!! huge respect to your team haha that girl sure knows how to work cameras too

[@vorexis]

Still catching up on random old videos. There is something to be said for a great group of people that can turn what would normally be a pretty stressful moment (stuck in a blizzard) into a fun experience.

[@bizod]

Thanks for the behind the scenes part. It's a huge credit to you and your team that you not only do the hard work of the recovery, but also take the time an effort to get good video, all while not overly inconveniencing the client! Wish there were more tow services like you out there.

[@bosshilf]

Loved watching the behind the scenes. Especially the great customer willing to help. That was awesome.

[@mygarden365]

Matt you are one of the honest persons in this you tube.

[@canyonoverland5003]

Matt is the Fred Rogers of the towing and recovery world.

[@powellph]

Matt’s non-scripted videos are so refreshing... it’s no wonder that his subscribers have boomed. I kinda chuckle when he says he’s a bad KZbinr when in reality I think he is the essence of what KZbin was intended to be, that’s why it’s so entertaining.

[@cassiusvladem]

I feel like I need to apologize because I sometimes forget to like your videos. I genuinely enjoyed every single video of yours that I've had a chance to watch. You the best Matt, you help people, that's a great thing!!! Lots of Love, all the way from Romania!

[@marcusdrumming24]

Good tip is to click like before you watch, that way there's no forgetting :D

[@larss592]

That is too cool to be able to film your own rescue. Bragging rights for her and conversation for years. Gotta love the work with and acceptance of this group.

[@jimt125]

More goes into toweying and recovery besides the editing. I see Purple Heart symbol on black keep licence plate. Thank the operator for his service to our country ,god bless.

Imagine being in an anxiety causing situation like being stuck and needing a tow and the tow guy shows up with 2 beautiful dogs!! #HEAVEN!! 💜

[@murraygauld2702]

Brilliant stuff. Lovely drive coming down from the hills where it's snowing, down to the lower altitude wher it is better weather. Loved the water drop making its way down the windscreen. Couldn't have planned that one. Getting better and better you guys. I'm always showing my family your clips.

[@JBlinky67]

I love the dogs! They are just running around loving life! So happy!

[@wikkidme755]

Thanks Matt for the great content, I can sit for hours and watch you recover people from the bush. Your country looks beautiful I can see why so many people get out and about. I cringe a little at the use of hard shackles in a recovery line and the pintle hook and tow hitch freak me out, I have seen things fail and also injuries from failures. Something small to increase your safety factor would be a few hand held communication radios you can give one to customer to tell them to straighten their wheels ...

[@BipolarAyatollah]

Scenery, camera work, editing, music, it all came together in this video. Great job! 10/10.

I like how Matt recovers the drone by grabbing it out of the air and turning it upside down instead of the mild crash seen here.

Really beautiful in that area when it snows. Clearly a lot of behind the scenes work goes into producing these videos. I really appreciate that. Watching has provided me with a great deal of entertainment.

[@TheFunKing33]

Thanks for the blizzard update from Washington DC. Nice of you to make sure they got to the main road ok.

[@ChristopherMirabile]

Another awesome video, Matt! Those snowy drone landings bring a tip to mind. For about ten bucks you can get a folding drone landing pad that you can toss down for the drone to take off and land on. Also gives it a great target for the automatic "return to home" feature. The cloth pads are just thin tent material and come with a wire rim so you can twist them into a figure 8 to fold them really small. The one I got was called "Homga Drone Landing Pad" and it was $13 on everyone's favorite ecommerce site. For me it is a life saver when landing on sand, grass or snow given how short those DJI drone legs are. Stay safe out there!

[@jeffleech8038]

Nice recovery. Thanks for the view behind the scenes! That area of the country is one of my favorites. Never been there in winter though.

Great video, kudos to your cameraman and contributing videographer Carlin Ma for some great shots in less than forgiving weather conditions. Really enjoyed the added feature of making of a drone video. The heavy snow at altitude brings back memories and a smile for adventures long forgotten. There's gold in them there hills son, KZbin Gold, Silicon Valley tea. This gold flows with human warmth and compassion, something people are in search of these days.
