Any specific shops you recommend?
I guess we can get just one separate lesson at the mountain.
I don't rent skiis, so I'm not sure who has the best rental fleet.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ski+shop+05751

Peak Performance is performance/race oriented. Forerunner and Black Dog are smaller shops that have a local following. Northern, Aspen East and Basin are larger shops. First Stop (at the corner of Rte 4 and 100S has a rental sign, but I've never seen their equipment offering.

If you're going to rent boots I'd go with the shop most willing to spend some time fitting you.

As far as you dragging your huband down a blue run the first day, you might want to have him take 2 lessons (morning and afternoon the first day) and wait at least until the second day. Make sure he can turn and stop confidently, otherwise he should stay on the greens. Good places are the greens and blues at Rams Head, Cruise Control, the new great Eastern for a long scenic run, maybe Snowshed for a warm up run. High Road off the Northbrook chair could be excellent for a newly minted skier. (Make sure the Northbrook chair is running) Stay off Skyeburst, Skylark, and all of Bear. The Glades, or Northridge, is a nice blue run, but the route down afterwards is a traffic jam.

I said good, not great. Some prefer Pizza Jerks, but I don't. What else is there?

Oh, and I was last there April 26th, 2008. Was up most weekends, and a fair bit midweek. Your tolerance and perception level is very LITTLE today.

Restaurants like Santa Fe Steak house, Jax, and a few others will have live entertainment as well.

For rentals, the best equipment and value is off the mountain. Your husband will probably do better with the mountain's lift/lesson/rental deal. If you want better equipment than the mass rental fleet, you can pick some up the night before at one of the many ski shops on the access road, or just off it.
Good Pizza???

When is the last time you ate Pizza there? That crap is aweful, been headed downhill ever since Casey bought the place and now that he is losing his shirt you're lucky if you get any toppings or cheese on your pizza.
AndyZee got us a pizza from there when we came up for the 11/2 opening. It wasn't the best pizza I ever tasted but it wasn't the worst one either. It was edible. Did it change since then?

Any Pizza outside of the NYC metro area is so bad you might as well find something else to eat.

A square pizza with a very thin crust with crushed tomatoes and mozzarella and sometimes they will put fresh basil on it. It is really good if made well. There should be more tomatoes than mozzarella on it. When I order it here I make sure to tell them that's what I want. Definitely not as dowy as a sicilian pizza.
