27 yr old desperate to try snowboarding

So I have a trip to Colorado in March and I've been itching to try snowboarding after my last two visits. My friends plan on having a couple resort days and I'd really like to try it out before spending the money out there. Thing is, it's a pretty expensive hobby, I don't even have bibs or a shell coat yet. Would anyone be interested in showing a newb around one of our resorts? It would be really helpful to make some friends that like to board too, easier to learn and cheaper than an instructor :). I've been skateboarding over the summer as well, I'm willing to learn! Also if anyone has any used gear/outerwear for sale let me know!

Tldr: 27 yr old looking for people to help guide her through the beginning steps of snowboarding
