In the interview scene the GM explains the hotel closes for the winter (open season is May 15th - October 30th) due to the 25 mile stretch of road getting an average of 20 feet of snow and clearing it would not be feasible. In the ensuing discussion of duties and the sense of isolation that comes from being completely cut off Jack Barnes explains he likes the sound of 5 months to focus on his writing project.
The close season would actually be 6.5 months. You could argue he's assuming 1.5 months for close down and restart but this isn't discussed.
Also the highest ever Colorado snow depth is 251 inches (1979) which was a state record. 251 inches is just over 20 feet. To state this as an average across a 25 mile stretch of road to a hotel would be unrealistic.
Also in this same scene there is a pen on the desk that keeps changing position each time the camera changes.
