Ski house retirement - thoughts?

Has anyone retired to a ski area? Thinking of selling our home in the burbs and buying a ski house at a mountain in the northeast and spending roughly half the year there. Ages would be roughly 60 and 65 when we do it. Hoping kids and eventual grandkids would come visit in winter. We would also love the winter sports and scenery. Our parents lived to late 80s and were very mobile despite living in cold climates, so we’ve had decent role models do it. What are we missing? People usually go for warm not cold climates but we love the idea!
