I would add to the equipment recommendation, dark sunglasses, or, my preference, an eye mask. The snow reflects the light from the sun back up at your eyes, and it can be blinding if you don't have protection. The mask that I wear gives lots of room for peripheral vision, and it is anti-fog.
Also, snowshoes have a right and left. Be careful not to put them on backwards. It WILL affect your balance if you have them on the wrong feet. If they are not marked by the manufacturer, when you get it figured out, mark them with a Sharpie.
