Forward guidance
Given the uncertainty COVID-19 has created for travel demand, operating restrictions and the ultimate visitation to and spending at our resorts, the Company will not be providing full year guidance for fiscal 2021 at this time.
Tailwinds
- Pleased with the results of season pass sales.
- Strong foundation of visitation and revenue that creates heading into the season.
- Implemented operating procedures that we believe will enable us to operate safely across our 34 North American ski resorts throughout the season.
- The reservation system continues to have available capacity for almost all days during the core season across our resorts.
- Disciplined cost management has been a primary focus, with significant actions taken to date to tightly manage our costs with reduced revenue expectations.
Headwinds
- Expect material declines in visitation to our resorts and associated revenue declines in fiscal 2021 relative to our original expectations for fiscal 2020.
- Expected declines in visitation from non-pass, lift ticket purchases due to reduced destination visitation, with more material declines specifically among international guests.
- Mandated capacity limitations will have a negative impact on our visitation during peak periods
- Expect additional negative impacts to visitation in select regions where heightened restrictions exist, including Whistler Blackcomb, given Canadian border closures and domestic travel guidance, and Vermont as a result of the quarantine policy for out-of-state travelers.
- Expect significant negative financial impacts on our ancillary lines of business, materially in excess of the decline in visitation, as a result of significant COVID-19 limitations and restrictions, particularly in food and beverage and ski school.
