Contingent Consideration, Key Assumptions for Valuation     The Company estimated the fair value of the Contingent Consideration liability using an option pricing valuation model. The estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration is determined on the basis of estimated future year performance of Park City, on which participating contingent payments are made, which is increased by an assumed annual growth factor and discounted to present value. Other significant assumptions included a discount rate of 10.5% and volatility of 15.0%, which together with future period Park City EBITDA, are all unobservable inputs.

Business Combination, Contingent Consideration, Description     The lease for Park City provides for participating contingent payments (the “Contingent Consideration”) to the landlord of 42% of the amount by which EBITDA for the Park City resort operations, as calculated under the lease, exceeds an inflation linked threshold and an adjustment equal to 10% of any capital improvements or investments made under the lease by the Company. Contingent Consideration is classified as a liability, which is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved.
