Big snow is a great place to learn before going to an actual hill

-They have a separate slope for lessons. -it’s always 28 degrees. This means no freeze thaw cycle, which limits how icy the slopes can be. -it’s always open. -it doesn’t rain -lifts don’t close due to wind.

If you’re close to big snow, I recommend campgaw or mount Peter as your first outdoor ski experience. Cheaper and closer than the pocono areas (and creek) and are very beginner friendly.
