As far as gear goes, snow pants and a coat are key and besides that you should have a good base layer that's not cotton. Long underpants, a long sleeved shirt and then something warm over that under your jacket. You need some gloves and a hat and goggles. Don't buy a board or anything like that until you've been up a few times and gotten the hang of it. Rent rent rent! Usually mountains have a sweet package for rookies with lift, lesson and rentals.<br><b>References : </b><br> First up, it’s awesome that your friend is going to show you some tips but you should still get a lesson so that you get going quickly.
