I have never gone skiing. And would really like to try it. Should I get adult lessons or should I just get out on an easy slope and test it out. Should I rent equipment since I am only trying it or should I try to buy it used. I don't want to try it and hate it and have spent a ton of money on equipment. Any suggestions?

I would suggest taking a few lessons, and see if you like it, they will take you down the bunny hills and everything. If you don't like then you can just quit. I learned to ski when I was 5, but my friends just learned, and they picked up within 3 classes, and they were going on the chairlifts and everything. So if you just took a few lessons, then I'm sure that you would pick it up fairly quickly.

I think its very useful if you took a lesson. The instructors will teach you the basics and take you to the easy slopes to try it out. You should rent first and if you really like skiing, buy later.

Rent and get a lesson. Go on the web to see what your chosen mountain has for a package, usually they will combine all that into some sort of learn to ski package for an attractive price (sometimes even free!).
good luck

Rent the gear and then take lessons. Even good skiers can benefit from lessons.
