any tourist trap resort will rent just about everything you need.
Just remember that the faster you go, the more efficient you are.

Do you have a nice jacket? I'm talking something with goretex from NF, Marmot, Arc'teryx, etc?
The cold weather technology has come A LONG way since I was a kid.. You can get away with just a t-shirt and mesh shorts if you have good gear.
Or you could just go all Jersey on their asses and ski in your jeans.

good gloves/liners, good socks, good underwear, OK glasses/goggles, everything else, rent
Posted on 1/12/15 at 3:46 pm to Bourre
Rent: Skis, boots and poles
Bring/Buy: Ski Pants, a Water proof winter jacket (not a Pea Coat or Leather jacket), Toque and Water Proof Gloves (not wool).
Do not wear jeans or sweat pants (it's cold as hell when they get wet). You could wear sweat pants under your snow pants though
You'll be good to go if you have some decent water proof clothes, it goes awry fairly quickly if you fall and then are wet for the rest of the day.

We rented a house in Winter Park. Is that considered a tourist trap area?

Waterproof Jacket
water proof pants
Long underwear
socks that wick moisture
warm shoes
gloves( not leather)
wool cap
Goggles help if it's snowing a lot, but if clear, you can get away with sunglasses. Everything else you can rent. LAYERING is the key! And if you can borrow stuff from a friend it's even better. Have fun and be sure to take at least one lesson or:

You want to layer up. Nothing will ruin a skiing trip like having too little/too many clothes on.
Obviously, being new, you want a good bib (snow pants that look like overalls). You will fall on your arse. Goggles are also a very good investment, as you can see (snow can be very blinding) and it'll help keep your face warm.
You don't need anything too crazy equipment-wise. You are going to be on the bunny slope.
Don't waste money on poles if it's your first time. They will not benefit you and can be detrimental to actually learning how to ski.

I'll be serious for you. Not sure about that are, but like most posted, make sure your clothes are good. good jacket, gloves, pants, layers. Most places will rent your skis and boots, even googles. Should be in good shape.

Wear a helmet
Posted on 1/12/15 at 3:49 pm to Bourre
just wear a good under layer and basic waterproof jacket/pants
just go to Academy and buy some cheap bibs and borrow a jacket
you don't need googles, just decent sunglasses
wear warm hat and some waterproof gloves
