The Monster.com Snow Maze.....
Park City, Utah for the 2002 Winter Olympics
Featuring "Trump" the Monster 
named for the trumpet that is his nose.
At the time.. the Worlds Largest Snow Maze
Initially the snow was brought in via dump trucks...
.. and stock piled in the field where the maze would be built.
Team Snowtastic designed this intricate maze...
This was our 'bible' to work from and we checked off each segment of wall as we completed it over the 10 days.
The snow was packed inside wood formwork that was built on site...
This is the first 10 foot segment of what will be 1,145 feet of wall in the completed maze....
Here's the first 70 feet.. note: the 4 inch spaces in-between the walls will be filled later in the process...
A big snow storm the final day of prep..
[two sculptors arriving 4 days early got a jump on things and had 96 feet of wall done before the full team arrived]....
Now the full team of 7 arrive and walls start popping into place...
One of us had to take the picture... but that's Team Snowtastic standing on the snow walls...
Multi-laid photos for a view of the whole scene...........
The box in the courtyard that "Trump" will be built from....
Working late into the night via the lights of the front-end loader..........

This is the entrance to the maze...
the short walls were used as countertops from behind which Monster employees passed premiums to the guests...
Upon exit you were given more premiums and congratulated with this sign
A Trump character greets the Monster Maze guests.......
Jeff Taylor, of Monster, cuts the ribbon to officially open the maze...
The sculpture was lit with colored lights throughout the night...
