[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since youre staying with family, they are presumably locals and know their way around, dining, shopping, outdoor activities, etc, no?
Ski shuttle bus routes, cookies at 3pm, strawberry park to avoid crowds, etc[/quote]

OP here. Yes, they have lived in the area for 10+ years and are avid skiiers. I'm sure they will know all that stuff. I guess I am more worried about the driving from the airport, renting our gear, and the terrain being overwhelming. One of my teens is not as confident a skiier as the other, and is just more anxious in general. [/quote]

Fills up fast so do it sooner rather than later.[/quote]

OP here. The relative we are visiting taught all three of his own kids to ski and is insistent he can/will do the same for ours. Its like a thing he is proud of doing for relatives. Is this a bad idea?[/quote]

Hard to say. 
You're there for 3 days of skiing so can your said relative calm your nervous teen and teach him to ski without both of them losing it in 3 days? 
It's different to teach your own kid to ski (like you mentioned)  especially when you live there and frequently ski VS. teaching a visiting relative who is there for a few days.

Sometimes it's better to outsource and risk hurting the feelings of relative.

Maybe spin it that Timmy will take ski lessons in the AM and Uncle Bob can supplement in the afternoon (you get the point).[/quote]

She can ski. He would just be helping her get more comfortable with turns and harder terrain, but I take your point. It certainly wouldn't be all day either. I'm guessing they would just ski togethr an hour or two each day. [/quote]
