As an alternative, how do the prices look for winter apartment rentals look in your area? You might be able to rent your house weekly to the winter sports crowd and make a bit of profit. Many Realtors in your area do this sort of thing.
I know two couples who did this, one for summers only and the other had a year-round (capable) house they decided to rent for a few weeks this summer and liked the result they kept it on the market until Columbus Day. Their rental-agent tried to talk them into doing winter rentals too but they decided to winterise the place for now.
Good luck!
