And @kboy - thanks for the expert input!
Have booked some lessons at the slope up in Manchester, and picked up some salopettes and a couple of jackets from eBay (one a particular obnoxious 90s job). I’ll see how bad of a learner I am before getting another day of lessons whilst I’m out there.
We’ve booked into Tignes in March, I understand it can get pretty cold up/down there so will layer up.
I guess leave the boots and rent when I’m out there?

my last two trips I was skiing in shorts, Les Arcs in France (March 2020 just prior to COVID lockdown) and Prato Nevoso in Italy (April 2018). Plenty of snow wet in places. I guess its all down to how much cold you can tolerate. Both trips wall to wall sunshine dawn to dusk skiing. Layers and especially winter cycling gear was well used.
Lessons definitely worth it. I spent many years not having lessons, too many bad habits I guess, which needed correcting last winter
