As others have indicated--the equipment is much better--especially rental gear.
The skis are running shorter due to the shape revolution which you are probably familiar with since it occurred prior to your last outing.
If your kids are first-time snowboarding, you are doing them right by getting the lesson. They should be making linked turns their first day--once they "get-it" it is easier to become better faster than with skiing.
Yes--a lot of folks wear helmets these days--probably far outnumber those that don't.
Oh--and prices have probably gone WAAAAAAAAAAAAY up since the last time you skied.
