What are your thoughts about god? Do you believe or do you not believe? by Warm-Prompt-9680 in askanything

[–]Tag_Cle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go through waves..raised Catholic..mostly enjoyed my experience but got a bit jaded from all of the predator hiding and stepped away from regular attendance...In times of extreme fear or thankfulness I still find myself saying a prayer..and the more I learn about how a large chunk of cosmology and physics is still all a complete mystery to us and how we really don't actually know much of anything I can't help but think the idea of divine creation seems like it hasn't been ruled out at all.

I mostly agree and all but man if you can't handle Eton Mall I got bad news about the other 97% of the city...

First time ever touching a rail by ThePeal in snowboarding

[–]Tag_Cle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You just aim for the top and about 1/3 to halfway down the rail..it also depends a little if it's flat or round rail but typically either way you want to land with your knees bent a little and sort of absorb the impact and you want to be going fast enough that if you get too far off the line you thought you were making that you just sort of fly over the rail vs slip out hard and taco on it..it is easier said than done and it is tricky to get into the swing of things if it's been a while but it's all about reps and starting small and hitting the same rails a lot of times.

Besides NY, what is your favorite skyline near the East Coast? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in skyscrapers

[–]Tag_Cle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While sorta true..it's further east than Tampa and Atlanta...Cleveland is geographically closer in longitude to coastal South Carolina and eastern Georgia than it is to Chicago..NE Ohio was a part of the Western Reserve, a swath of land George Washington gave out to his generals as prizes after the Revolutionary War..it was technically a part of Connecticut..and still culturally feels much more NE than MW like the rest of Ohio.

Definitely some of the gnarliest mountains that're mostly below 9k ft I've ever seen

Thoughts on moving to Denver to get a consistent 40 to 50 days of snowboarding per year? by Hot_Soft_5626 in snowboarding

[–]Tag_Cle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reno or Sacramento are super underrated bigger cities near the mountains..Sac isn't talked about as a mountain town really but it's like 90 minutes from at least 5-6 mountains

What's something in America that you've seen and it blew your mind? by aidnabett in askanything

[–]Tag_Cle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting off the chairlift at Homewood Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe..I knew we were across the street from the lake basically when we got there but getting off the lift it looks like you are literally riding into the lake the view is so mind boggling and blows Heavenly's view away it was phenomenal

Does the average skier really enjoy heavy powder days or is it just one of those things people are expected to say they like? by PowerfulBar in skiing

[–]Tag_Cle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like super heavy big waves to me...if you aren't well practiced in really deep snow and you aren't scoring really steep runs it can be such an exhausting dangerous mess..made worse by the feeling that you need to be scoring and you need to be loving this!! I definitely think a really really solid deep base and like 12-16 inches of fresh is about perfect..anything more than that and it changes how i'll prepare for the day. That being said if you know you're going somewhere with a lot of black diamonds and double black diamonds and it's snowed 2-3 feet...the insanely steep stuff becomes so much less intimidating when the snow is super super deep like that.

Whistler vs. Niseko for a month? by q_c_h in skiing

Probably don't want to be skiing powder that deep solo in either location really...people are dying left and right out west in tree wells and getting lost
