Tailwinds

  • Strong demand from destination guests at our western U.S. resorts, particularly with regard to lift ticket sales, that we expect will continue through the remainder of the season.

  • Lodging business is expected to outperform our original expectations in the remainder of the year with a strong outlook on both occupancy and ADR across our properties.
  • Addition of the Seven Springs Resorts.
  • The update to guidance is primarily driven by the strong demand from destination guests at our western U.S. resorts, particularly with regard to lift ticket sales, that we expect will continue through the remainder of the season and the contribution from the Seven Springs Resorts.

Headwinds

  • Challenging U.S. destination and international visitation trends at Whistler Blackcomb.
  • The $20 million investment in front-line staff bonuses.
  • Increased wages for our summer operations.
  • The inclusion of an estimated $6 million in acquisition and integration related expenses specific to the Seven Springs Resorts.
  • There are a number of dynamics related to COVID-19 and unusual weather that are negatively impacting fiscal 2022 that are important to highlight as we begin to plan for fiscal 2023.
