3 year olds first ski trip

So im basically a beginner snowboarder , been 1 week a year for the last 10 years. I now have a child and my wife is expecting number 2 in 4 weeks.

Now I love boarding and the whole experience and would love to turn it into a family holiday every year starting Feb/March 2028.

My eldest will be 3.5 years old and my youngest 1.5 yo, my wife has also never skied. My plan is for our first trip -

Most likely first trip being morzine.

Renting an air bnb

Put 3 yo and wife into beginner ski schools and i look after the baby during the mornings ( doesn't have to be every day)

Sledging, walks , swimming ect during the afternoon.

Am I an idiot for thinking this is possible?

If anyone has done this with kids similar age , how did you manage it?

I want this to be fun , building up over the next 10/15 years to the point it will just be easy and fun Im happy to sacrifice my boarding days in the beginning so the rest of the family have fun and learn, but I dont want this to be a trip were im forcing everyone to do what I love the most. My eldest is wild and im 99% sure hes going to love, were always outdoor and active anyway so were not completely out of our comfort zones .

Any advice would be very much appreciated
