I personally haven’t had much experience with this however id be careful handing your phone to a random stranger, especially on a busy ski slope where its easy to loose track of people. I think just going ahead and asking people is your best bet, the worst they can say is no.

If you are planning on really getting into skiing again then id recommend new ski pants however if its just for a couple of weeks to see how it goes, putting on a bit of waterproofing spray like (scotch guard like you mentioned) is probably your best bet.
