Other than that I personally find the chairlift easier to maneuver than the T lift. Just make sure you pick green runs at first.
Helmet is only necessary if you think you'll really suck. If you've skated or snowboarded before you should be ok.

While I do agree that the T-bar lifts are a tool of the Devil, I think helmets should really be worn while skiing downhill. It just takes one icy patch on a hill to ruin someones day, no matter how good they are.
