  • Stretch your legs, hips, trunk, back and arms very well before you start.
  • I hope you're taking a lesson from someone?
  • Stick to skiing. Once you have mastered that and gotten the feel for the snow, you can try snowboarding. Snowboarding is very different, but easier if you know how to work the snow.
  • Don't be afraid to fall. Falling is better than pulling a muscle or breaking a bone.
  • Wear sunscreen, and don't forget your lips.
  • Wear sunglasses or goggles (probably goggles for you since you're a beginner).
  • Stay on the bunny slopes. If you go up a more challenging run and can't make it down the hill without crashing in the middle of the slope, the advanced skiiers will hate you. If you do find yourself on a run that you can't handle, move to the side and either step/slide down the hill horizontally or take off your skis and walk down (last resort).
  • Do not ski under or right next to the chair lifts. When you fall, everyone will (loudly) let you know that they saw it.
  • Rope tows chew up your gloves.
  • Speaking of gloves...don't lose them.
  • Stay away from any unmarked areas - especially "tree trails" that advanced skiers love but you will be way too novice for.
  • Pizza wedge! Pizza wedge!
