You will not be enjoying mountain town living. You will be in hotels and on the road working plus spending 40 hours a month hanging around airports hoping to get on a oversold flights. Consider a temporary relocation until you have the stability and seniority to make what sounds like a very difficult commute work.
Keep in mind that most airlines that have commuter policies still require sound judgement in planning. If you have a trip Tuesday morning early and the flights on Monday are sold out or the weather forecast sucks your going to have to leave on Sunday for your Tuesday trip.
