Well I am a newbie! Third skidoo trip first trip to BC and big hills did smaller ones in Newfoundlands west coast.
From my my point of view I'd say nice forgiving terrain where if you roll the sled or it gets away from you isn't going to hit trees or do damage.
Techniques for un sticking a sled including not being afraid to roll it out in decent powder / soft snow.
Again in power appropriate sleds, I was on an 800 summit and although I wasn't intimidated by the sled it takes more physical energy to hold onto an 800 vs a 600 and unless it's massive hills the extra power isn't really required to have fun and learn the basics.
Ensure re the beginner knows the importance of the basic safety equipment and practises. Helmet strap done up tether connected etc as well as the Avalanche awareness.
Always y's being aware of your surroundings and where terrain might drop off etc
hopefully some of this is useful! I love the challenge or mountain ridin and like to push myself but it's not for everyone either.
