@seager +1 for bringing your own boots, but don’t buy if you have never skied before. Invest in base layers, solid gloves. Shop around for soft shell trousers and jackets, decathlon is a great shout. Hire helmet, skis etc when you book lessons and ski pass.
Try and get lessons here too before you go, so that you don’t arrive on the slopes as a complete novice.
I’ve been invited to Tignes next February, not my preferred time of year nor location. However gentle arm twist last night with beers, with offer to transfer skis + kit by car.. squad travel by snow train. This is no package deal totally independent. It’s a boys trip with well seasoned skiers, I’m expecting it to be full on.

Bring your boots if you have a good pair but rent skis. I’ve had rental boots and couldn’t find a decent pair even though I tried half the shop on. I’m not sure but I got the feeling they have certain rental models that are comfy in store but shit on the slope
