[quote=Anonymous](1) get lessons. May be cheapest as a group but prepare for kids to quickly exceed your abilities

(2) it takes time. can you do a week vacation with multiple lessons? May be less frustrating than isolated 1 day events

(3) ultimately it is such a time saver to rent equipment for the season - this also enables you to ski opportunistically when and where snow falls in the nearby resorts. But for the first season you might want to rent at the slope. Often there are off slope places that rent equipment too. We did our season rental locally (in the dmv). Keep in mind it takes up a lot of space in the car!

(4) with young kids look for a place with a magic carpet learning area so you don’t have to learn the chairlift straight away

(5) Columbia has the cheapest ski gear but you can also get other brands at good prices in early fall at last season sales

(6) just try it. You will learn and adjust, both in terms of actual skiing skills and logistical planning and locational preferences [/quote]
