What to bring _ snow virgin

Just got details of the Christmas party... At least the first phase. It's three days in Italy skiing. I'm actually planning to take the snowboarding option, partly because it makes sense to me as I skated as a kid, and secondly because I have dodgy knees and skiing is meant to be hard on the knees... What's the deal with…

I managed to get a pair of Oakley Flight Decks for just over €60 on Amazon a couple of months ago. Price has gone back to about €130... Great goggles, wide field of view and allow you to see conours in the whiteness of snow (especially in poor visibility)

I used to wear sunglasses but now always wear goggles while skiing. I've improved over the last 5-6 years so I now ski a lot faster. The sunglasses give me watery eyes and very little wind protection. Even a €40-50 pair of goggles will be a great benefit.
I always wear a helmet now too and I clip the goggles onto my helmet for the day. Works a treat.
