Lately I have been considering jumping a dam, which is not to far from where I live. But when jumping an object like this, it is best to get some advice from the locals. Luckily last weekend I met 2 jumpers who live just below this dam! Guillaume and Jonathan knew all the beta on the access, landing, weather... it seems I had found my guides! And it also seemed it was... ]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:00:00 -0500 13755 2013-01-12 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-1-1358002844.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-5-1358002844.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-2-1358002846.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_photo-4-1358002847.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13755_-photo-3-1358002846-1358195953.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13736-winter-building-part-2-of-2-logan-peat http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13736-winter-building-part-2-of-2-logan-peat With my Coast line nearing completion for the upcoming Coastal Crew movie, there is some big changes and I am stoked with what we have created.

Dad and I have been working on the "team" plans for 2013 which has been great fun and, with our sponsors have decided to add another rider to the team which will really help with my training and racing.

That's why I was doing only indoor trainings in gym. With my team ŠD LIFE, we were training with motocross riders, to get fit for up coming season. You can see a short edit of our trainings. Weather is getting better and I can ride some xc again. I can't wait to ride downhill bike too. Besides getting fit I have been busy with school, trying to pass as many exams as I can before the racing season. ]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:48:00 -0500 12674 2012-02-27 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_slika1-1330382892.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_slika3-1330382892.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_slika2-22-1330382892.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1482-1330382892.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1332-1330382893.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-1300-1330382893.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12631-andrew-plagens-updates http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12631-andrew-plagens-updates The last few weeks have been pretty exciting. My two good friends from back home came to visit for a week and to climb some ice. They drove straight through from Michigan, leaving at 5pm and getting to Colorado at 9am the next morning. They were ready to climb despite their lack of sleep. We decided to wait one day to go hit the ice and went to Eldo. Eric and Joe had never climbed in Eldo, so I decided it necessary for us to climb the ultra classic Bastille Crack. It is a must for any visiting climber.... ]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:26:00 -0500 12631 2012-02-14 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_385036-2630800283966-1074129049-2696663-1207438318-n-1329182790.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_409040-2630799563948-1074129049-2696661-846479731-n-1329182790.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_382677-2630792963783-1074129049-2696631-294235773-n-1329182790.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_morgan-1329182790.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12610-a-heads-up-in-the-swiss-alps-mariann-saether http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12610-a-heads-up-in-the-swiss-alps-mariann-saether It was finally time to again embrace the snow and dig out my skis from the shed, after years of being neglected. The occasion was a winter stay in the Swiss Alps, riding powder and finding new challenges off the water.. and I succeeded.. This winter has been one amazing winter wonderland fairy tale. After I made it back from Peru, the hills were lacking snow in Switzerland. Then, the heaven opened up and delivered the goods for a month straight. Holy, moly powder days!

This morning’s avalanche report suggests that things might stay atypically lame--a strong persistent weak layer in the snow pack may never fully heal and, after a brief front brings a meager few inches of snow tonight, high pressure is forecast to resume and stick around for at least another weak. As a rock climber, I should probably be psyched--as long as things dry out, climbing in the local canyons above the inevitable inversion or heading south to abundant desert rock are both great options. ]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:10:00 -0500 12580 2012-02-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_ames-ice-hose-1328109057.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_ames-ice-hose-p1-1328109057.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12564-skiing-the-perfect-cross-training-jen-vennon http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12564-skiing-the-perfect-cross-training-jen-vennon Perhaps skiing is the perfect cross training to get my legs stronger and ultimately make me a better climber.

We’ve been flirting with record low season-to-date snow totals, and before this weekend’s “storm” (5-10 inches, at best), the mountains were shockingly bare. The skiing has been "meh" at best and while early season ice was actually decent, a few especially warm weeks in late December hammered things pretty hard. Where was my winter?! Where were the huge powder dumps, pre-work dawn patrols on the nearest ice?

During the past few years it seems like Fall only lasts a few weeks and then the snow comes. Every week we have had a storm that has left a blanket of snow.

The winter tactics are a bit bothersome but necessary if you are motivated like I am.
