Nice to hear your kids enjoy skiing. This might sound funny, but it really works. I learned it from one ski instructor. Try using dog flexi leash such as this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NSLEUO?ie=UTF8&tag=thlada-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000NSLEUO With the flexi leash you can easily control your child's skiing, and as he/she learns you can give more distance.

We went to Colorado. We were skiing everyday and the little one stayed home with a caretaker. Everyday he asked to go with us. Therefore, as an experiment I took him on the bunny hill (bunny hills in Colorado would qualify as a nice green runs in other places). All his brothers decided to come down to the base for that event. It was very, very touching. We all went on a small lift and skied together down hill. His brothers on each side of him and one in front (skiing backwards). The little one was thrilled, no fear of going down hill or going up on a ski lift. It was a hard breaking work for me though. We repeated this every year. Now he is 3 and 3/4 and got pretty good at standing on his legs while we ski down small and gentle slopes. Since he is almost four I would like to take him to a next step of skiing on his own. However, he got used to skiing between mum's legs and I sense that he is not going to give up that option easily. Can anyone suggest fun and creative way of transition from where we are now to more independent skiing on his part? I have taken my son skiing when he was seventeen months old. We went to Colorado.
