Here is a suggested gear list for the upcoming ski and splash trip. We suggest for first time skiers to NOT use rental ski poles. It is one extra thing to manage and they get in your way when you are falling and getting up.
Wilderness Resort:
Pillow
Sleeping bag
Swimsuit
Boots
Change of clothes
Toiletries
Water bottle
Class A Uniform
Skiing:
Long underwear (base layer)
Sweatshirt or Fleece (top layer)
Ski socks or knee high socks (ankle socks are terrible for ski boots)
Snow pants
Gloves
Barclava (works great under a helmet to keep head, face, and neck warm)
Ski goggles (keeps face warm and snow out of eyes)
Ski jacket
Handwarmers
Snacks while skiing (meat stick, granola bar, nuts, trail mix)
