I took 5 days of lessons. I went from killing myself on the bunny slope to all intermediate trails in those 5 days. By the end of the season (about 20 more days out) I was in a mogul competition down "Outer limits" at Killington.
On equipment, unless you are planning to get into the half-pipe, you want the three strap bindings and fairly stiff boots. I ride using hard boots and a race setup. I do everything on the mountain with this.
I wouldn't worry about wrist guards. But you might want to consider gloves with thumb guards built in. Snow board pants have built in pads and reinforcement in the knees. Remember, the normal stopped position is kneeling.
