I agree with Jimmy. Especially since it will be your first time, don't even think about bringing a walkman to the slopes. You'll be using all your concentration to get down the slope!
BUT, before you strap on the ol' planks, have you considred snowboarding??? ;-) Are there any other boarders out there in Joniland besides me? > The song of my choice would be HELP ME. This cracked me up! "Help me, I think I'm falling..." I hope you have a great time! lots of love Anne
