I have only ever been skiing in Switzerland, but that is probably the best place to start. They mark the rundowns (“pisten” in german) according to the difficulty they pose, with blue for easy, red for medium, and black for hard. Just stick to the blue ones until you feel confident enough to try the more difficult ones.
Yeah, my SO and I will stick to the kids rundowns, as we purchased the beginners pass. Even if we wanted to get to a more advanced rundown, our pass don’t cover those lifts. Any advice on choosing gear? I wanted to try a snowboard, but I don’t know if it’s any more dangerous than regular ski’s.

That’s pretty common. In the US they have bunny (super basic slope for children), green, blue, black and black diamond
