Meh, I call bunk on this article. This staging of heavy wreckers is nothing new, Summit and a couple of other tow companys patrol I-70 in these areas all the time in the winter. They hook, drag you to the top of Vail, Eisenhower, etc., get a comcheck or CC from you to charge and send you on your way. They have also always done the free tow thing for passenger cars, the reason for the free tow, the ski industry won't let the tow companies charge, as the state wanted them to, because it might interfere with the tourism industry and cut down on out of state skiers.
