THE MONSTER CIRKUS
"The Evolution of the Cirkus for a new Generation" -Brian Packer ZAGG
It took a team of about forty people, Months and Months of planning...
but the cirkus was erected and brought into the heart of Salt Lake City,
to blow the minds of every person who was lucky enough to be there that Saturday at the end of March.
The Cirkus was a particularly hard event to construct, because of the sheer amount of work it took to put it all together, and because of restraints with the venue, our team wasn't able to start building the set up until 12:00 am the Morning of. So a team of about 25 hard working snowboard finatics stayed up all night, into the next day, moving over 30 tons of snow, building a several story scaffolding set up, and transforming the Gallivan Center, into the Modern Day Cirkus----- Thanks Team!
"You have heard of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. You know the zany circus shows that come to every major city that claim to be the “greatest SHOW on Earth?” Well picture combining Barnum and Baileys “Greatest show on Earth with the Salt Lake City snowboard scene with the “greatest snow on Earth” and that is exactly what took place at the first ever Monster Cirkus: The Greatest Snow Bro Show I have ever seen!” -Dave Brewer, Snowboarder.com

On Saturday March 28th, Downtown Salt Lake City was bombarded with a huge event that was far different than any other snowboard event ever held within the capital city known for the greatest snow on Earth. You have heard of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. You know the zany circus shows that come to every major city that claim to be the “greatest SHOW on Earth?” Well picture combining Barnum and Baileys “Greatest show on Earth with the Salt Lake City snowboard scene with the “greatest snow on Earth” and that is exactly what took place at the first ever Monster Cirkus: The Greatest Snow Bro Show I have ever seen!”
