Maybe someone else teaching them is the key? The other two never got the bug,
went a few time with me but only one skis/board occasionally.

I would DEFINITELY recommend putting your kid in ski school. First of all, it frees you up and its fun for the kids. I probably would've killed my kid if I'd tried to teach her myself in the beginning.

When she got good enough to ski greens and blues with me I started giving her pointers, like how to stop snowplowing, turning, stopping. She's a pretty good skier now but now I'm working on getting her down blacks without tossing F-bombs at me for taking her down a "hard trail". ;)

She must love it because she keeps wanting to come with me and used her birthday money to buy new skis and boots. :)

The ski school thing is actually not a bad idea if you want to consider it. Mt. Cranmore is right in town, and it would be easy for your wife to bring your 7 year old there. Either way, enjoy your trip!
