I would not want to take a trip with 2 adults and 3 teenagers jammed into a small RV even in the Summer. In Winter with temps down to the teens, that is likely to be a miserable experience.
It depends on how much time is spent in the TC. I can't say I enjoy extended periods of time in mine even by myself or with my wife.
However, I made a trip last year for a few days with 6 of us. 3 were grandkids with my daughter. We were outside almost all of the day enjoying Yellowstone. We also stopped at a KOA to let the kids swim for a day. We basically only used the TC for making meals and sleeping when I wasn't grilling. Of course, that means you need somewhere to sit if you are hanging outside like I was part of the time.
Similarly, it depends on where they are wanting to ski. Many ski areas out West (any way) have power at their RV parking for a small fee. Also, there is nothing to say they couldn't stay at a hotel/airbnb etc from time to time.
A TC certainly isn't as roomy as a large Class A or Fifth wheel, but it's not like those wouldn't have issues where there is significant snow. All have to find somewhere to dump etc., and most would eventually need a power hookup. Finally, putting several people in an RV for days without a break wouldn't be my idea of fun either. ;)
