Financial shifts, and even reversals, sometimes can hold more than one interpretation. Shifts in funding streams and debt repayment can just relate to changes in business conditions; even bankruptcy can simply be a tool used toward rebuilding a troubled business into a sounder one (which happened at one point with the business that used to be Morrison-Knudsen at Boise). So we’ve held off saying much, not being pricy to the inner workings.

The news today that Tamarack Resort is shutting down its Boise operations - substantial, since about 20 employees are directly affected - is another matter. We’re seeing here an unambiguous indicator of serious trouble.
