Definately socks that go past the top of a snowboard boot.

Sunscreen and chapstick if it's going to be sunny, or something to cover your face if it's going to be really cold.

Helmet (you can rent)
Goggles
minimum 2 Pairs of Gloves
Long Socks
Tuque
Some sort of Base Layer (top and bottoms) (long johns, Under Armor, etc)
Spare clothes in case you get wet.

When I went out for my first day I found I ended up with soaked gloves and I got snow down my back a few times when wiping out. I was glad I had spare gloves and a change of clothes to switch up at lunch time.

All you'll need are a few good hits of acid, with any luck you'll hallucinate that your actually on a real mountain and not anywhere near Manitoba. Good luck troll

JeffreyCH

Not sure why you guys think this guy is trolling? He asked simple question in the proper forum, yeah it's a noob question, but it is info all noobs need to get the most of their first time out. If ya ask me it's you 2 who are trolling

I'm just bugging him... I saw another post from him the other day that seemed pretty fake so I'm not completely convinced yet that he's not a troll. I think the user name AntiLame and the avatar doesn't help sell me on him being a real person....but who knows.

JeffreyCH

I hear ya...I would totally accept Christ for a ps2

Torpedo, he's a kid. Guess you missed that post.

And he's asking perfectly (intelligent, actually) legitimate questions, as JeffreyCH pointed out.

If only people twice his age had the foresight to ask a question about how to be prepared, they wouldn't be all gloveless, soaked, cold, and miserable their first time out.

I enjoy seeing the posts by kids like AntiLame and Backcountry. Their contributions have been refreshing.

But I am a bit biased (and probably have my back up about it) because I have a nephew their age whom I adore.

Anyway. AntiLame, have fun out there! Welcome.
And, I thought your avatar was funny.
