I am going skiing in a few weeks for the first time, and I'm not really sure what to take! I have an idea of the basics but was hoping you could help me out with some suggestions of things I'll need.
Thanks!

Search past questions. This gets asked at least once a week. There is a ton of info already out there for you.
Make sure to get lessons though. Some beginners think that skiing is an easy sport to learn. It is, with the guidance of an instructor.
