I think Sunshine is probably one of the better spots to learn. There are a few beginner hills but a lot of medium runs which are great for transition.

As for the helmet thing. I guess if your not comfortable then get one but when you are then feel free to put it away. Unless your racing or doing acrobats then there should be absolutely no need for one. I've been skiing since I was 4 and not once did i wear a helmet when skiing for recreation.

Once you get more proficient then get to the black runs - less crowded and to me, much much much more fun. Especially if you like skiing trees or moguls.

And then, once you do all this - get yourself on a heli-skiing trip. You will never ever want to go back to groomed runs!
