Well I'm a beginner myself, but I'd just start off getting normal pair of cheap skiis, put on some thick and warm clothes and try balancing on them in the snow, then push yourself alittle, then eventually down hills.

Dizaster - you should read some of the ski articles here at Talk Ski http://www.talkski.com/ski-articles/

You could also consider just renting the equipment such as skis and boots until you get a bit more advanced.

For you first few times you should rent but rent different kinds so you can see what you like best and then you can make a choice to spen the money because it is expensive.
