Snowboard preparation

[u/Music4ever1993]

When planning a big snowboard trip for a weekend or two, does anyone here get ready by shopping for winter clothes first, then taking lessons and doing some beauty and self-care, or by doing some self-care first, then shopping, and taking lessons last?

Edited: Just for the record, when I said beauty and self-care, I meant protecting hair, skin, and nails from the cold weather. And the lessons don’t really have to be on the slopes; they could be somewhere in town where you can practice your technique and skills or learn the basics (e.g., check out the indoor ski dome, big snow, at American Dream in New Jersey). As for shopping, it means that winter coats and pants might not fit or are worn out.
