No offense, but the username property (what you refer to as "Owner") is not returned by the get-snapshot commandlet. You need to iterate through the event logs for that information.
I wrote a function that does just that, so in your case, you can easily adapt it to your needs. I did modify the very end so it returns what your $ss variable was returning.
Also it's bad practice to hard code username and passwords but feel free to modify this if you need to hardcode.
