1) Take a lesson and give it 3 days. On day 1 you'll fall every turn. On day 2, you'll fall every other turn. On day 3, you won't fall much, but it will hurt when you do (pro tip: don't carry speed into the flat areas until you are much better). Snowboarding is easier than skiing, but the learning curve is steeper.

1.1) I'd tend to say say don't learn at a major resort. You'll be on greens for awhile

2) Wear a helmet, and maybe even wrist guards. When you catch an edge on day 3, you will get thrown down hard.

3) Wear waterproof snow pants. You'll spend lots of time sitting in the snow.

4) Wear volleyball knee-pads under your waterproof snow pants. You'll spend lots of time kneeling in the snow, too.
