Of course we want our children to love what we love. Naturally we introduce them to those things. For them to really love those things we must let them do it on their terms. We don't push Scout to do what we want her to do. Even when she shows interest we don't try to "instruct", unless she asks...which she will when she is ready. This keeps the joy in the activity, just like keeping the joy in all learning. So if she wants to go to "ski school" and then mostly just wants to roll in the snow when she gets there, thats what she does. No pressure to "learn". She is learning, that going skiing is fun, and what ever else she needed to discover...whether we understand what that is or not.
