It's already been said a couple times, but as a long time skier, spending a few hundred on a good pair of boots was by far the best skiing purchase I've made. Besides that, buy a helmet. They are warm, and they have a chin strap so unlike a hat you don't have to worry about it falling off.
As for the skis themselves, see if the hill you are going to offers any demo programs. Typically when I'm in the market for new skis I'll go to the hill on a demo day and switch skis every hour or so for a good part of the day and make my purchase based on that.
