There are a variety of things to think about with cold weather camping, but the biggest with a camper is water freezing. You want a bathroom and shower - that means you will have water on board and pipes filled with water. Water freezes in winter and bursts out of whatever is holding it. "4 season" campers are designed to avoid that, including using insulated/heated water tanks and pipes that run inside the camper to use camper heat to stay unfrozen.
Think about camping without using your own bathroom and shower. Can you use facilities at the mountain resorts you will be boarding at? That would make one part of winter camping much easier.
A 15 foot or smaller camper is going to get REALLY cozy with 4 adults. It certainly can be done, especially with good friends for weekend trips. As long as you don't do it for months at a time! lol
Do you know anyone who has done what you are thinking? Traveling in winter to different places for snowboarding? Ask them what their experience has been.
Also, towing on slippery roads can be rather exciting, to put it mildly. You may want to wait a day or two after snowstorms to let the roads get cleared and de-iced.
With some planning, it sounds like you might have one heck of a fun winter ahead of you!
