Aviemore skiing

Hi All. Skiing noob and joined today.
I will be going to Aviemore during the halfterm holidays (Feb 13th-20th) with my 13 year old son and My lovely lady. It is my lads and my first time skiing and we have booked 2 days insrtuction. we are staying at the Mackenzie inn in Aviemore and wondered if anyone has any tips on where to go after ski or comments on where we are staying. We are really looking forward to it and baught all our stuff (not boots, skis or poles though) yesterday. If anyone else on the furom is going to be there at the same time maybe we could meet up for a beer or two.
Any help and/or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

My only tip is to get the bus up to the hill rather than drive, if thats what you were planning. Can be chaos up there nowadays sometimes, car wise.

Thanks for the tip, we had planned on driving but the bus sounds good
