If it is your first time, most resorts have “packages” for Ticket/Rental/Lesson and Ticket/Lesson. Since you have all your own gear already, you would need the Ticket/Lesson package. Yes, I highly recommend the lesson. Most last a couple hours and can show you the ropes, get you more comfortable and confident, and save you hundreds of falls!If you have extra money bring it. There are sometimes unexpected expenses that arrise. Also be aware that you should have eye protection no matter what the weather conditions. Goggles are the most appropriate and offer the best protection. Dress in layers and get a locker at the lodge to keep stuff in.HAVE FUN!!
