If the boy took to skiing, enjoys it and progressing I don't think there is a big danger of rebellion. With schools they always learn new things and do it different way too. I watched a group ESS lesson and kids were skiing all day on one ski. And after that there is a park or race coaching. Depending how parents ski there might be a rebellion that in a few years time he won't want to ski with parents. But when parents have to take a gondola down because something is a bit too steep they will feel better about their children skiing down when they know that their kids can do it all and will be OK.

Verbs it is very easy to push your own passion on to your children ...... By not being a pushy parent the kids develop their own passion for skiing, even if some times you have to bite your lip. Let them develop at their own pace and hopefully their will pass the passion for skiing on to their children :thumbup:
Trust me it works !!!
