[quote=Anonymous]While I agree with PP re skiing west, I think is a bit too much for first-time skiers. Logistics of traveling, renting gear, getting everyone ready and skiing itself is overwhelming and exhausting tbh. Usually by day 3 even my very skilled and eager to ski teenagers want to take a break. So I suggest 2-3 days trip to nearby resort (maybe Timberline?), ski-in/ski-out accomodations, beginners packages if offered, it renting skis from nearby discounted place the day before. Smaller resorts are usually easier to navigate. As for the winter clothes - no to jeans, yes to layers. Surprisingly, Costco usually have good selection of affordable gloves, thermals, socks, ski pants and jackets, though it might be too late for it now, I bet they selling swimsuits already. I also do like Columbia outlets when I don't want to spent a fortune on something. Good luck, OP! [/quote]
