Depending on where you're going, the resort should offer a "Learn to Ski/Learn to Ride" package that includes a day of lessons, a limited lift ticket, and ski/board and boot rentals. That's my biggest recommendation--and in the case of some of these East Coast resorts, the deal is much less expensive than renting the equipment and buying a lift ticket separately.
Good luck! Hopefully I'll be able to get on the slopes this winter.
