First, have a great time!
Even if you're going for a single day -- take a lesson. The chances of an injury go down dramatically. When we learned (Mrs. DA and me) years ago, we took a whole weeks worth of lessons.
Stay off of runs you aren't good enough for.
Whatever you do, don't listen to anyone who says the best way to learn is to go to the top and point your skiis downhill. Great way to hit a tree -- or another skiier.
