Helmet (rentals available and strongly suggested), neck gaiter or buff, and optional hand or toe warmers; sunscreen and lip balm are recommended because snow increases sun exposure.
Use thin, moisture-wicking ski socks and thermal base layers topped by insulating mid layers and waterproof outerwear so you can regulate temperature throughout the lesson.
