My winter plans

This winter I'll be going skiing for the first time ever. I heard it's a lot of fun, but we'll see.. the place I'm going to is the big boulder mountain in PA, they have apparently a nice skiing resort there. I'm taking my boyfriend with me, he skied before, so he will teach me. I promise I'll take ton of pics this time and post them on this blog, so stay tuned, I'll post them when I get back! What should I bring along for a trip like this?
