Hi Deb, I suppose if it's the 1st time ever you'll probably be safe to plug the walkman only during the long ski lift rides. As far as listening while skiing, there are some 'open' headphones which don't block the outside sounds, and of course you don't have to be blasting music. Screaming beginners? No they proceed with caution. I personally wait until the hill is relatively clear so I don't get run over by the crazy young surfers. You could also take along HELP by the Beatles to complement HELP ME. Have fun Laurent
