Hey CTH, take the kids and learn, and go skiing by yourself, or find friends to do that as well.
I did the same as you, and didn't go for a long period, my stbxw tried and didn't like it, so I never pursued it much. I have been skiing since 3 years old, so this year, I went back to doing what I like, and went 5-6 times after work, with friends, and several times with d9 who is getting better and better at it.
No need to wait for a braver older girl as you put it..
