Yes there's a plethora of knowledge on the internet for skiing these days.... but what is the single most useful thing you have learned on a ski forum (this can be NS or elsewhere)?
Before I joined NS, I had an account on onthesnow forums before they shut down. Someone had a thread that included a video on how to self-arrest. I'd never heard of it before that day, and turns out I ended up having to use it a mere 1 month later. I tried all the basic stuff and ended up having to stop my slide by jabbing my pole into the ground. Probably slid 100yds. Had I not seen that thread, I woulda gotten real fucked up. That thread saved my ass and I consider it one if the most useful things I've ever learned on a ski forum.
While I've learned so much on NS, this has to be the most important thing I've learned. How bout you?

Most useful thing learned on ski forum?
I took people's advice on how to not look/act/talk like a gaper.
Which in turn made me a total gaper.
Moral is I've learned nothing.

How to stop yourself from sliding all the way down if you fall. If it's steep enough, you will slide the whole way down, potentially into dangerous areas. Either using feet/hands or poles to stop your slide
the only boots you need are full tilts
I've learned a lot but calling any of it useful is a stretch.
I saw a boob once.
I think i might've read something about a thing called marijuana? Never knew things like that existed before!
Sure I've picked up plenty of random ski knowledge but honestly the thing I learned on here that I see the most frequently are the definitions of...

The thread named "a quick note from an old NSer" which talked about how skiing park fucks up your body and you should start to stretch and exercise when you're young. Also to not get tunnel vision, he says "there is more to life than skiing park, shit there is more to skiing than skiing park." Lots of good advice in that thread
