Is Snowbird changing course?

Granted, we had little snow this winter, but with still enough snow to stay open a few more weekends, Snowbird finally called it quit yesterday. Is that early closing date related to the new ownership of the resort?
Mr. Ian Cumming who is now the boss is known more as a “numbers guy” than a passionate skier and probably didn't approve of any kind of protracted ski season that mostly benefit the season pass holders.

If his track record through Powdr Corp in Park City is any indication, the bean counting is going to tighten up at the 'Bird, the tip of its wings might be clipped a bit and some of the fun factor could eventually be squeezed out of the experience...
