Sensitivity Analysis of Fair Value, Transferor's Interests in Transferred Financial Assets, Impact of Adverse Change in Other Assumption, Description A change in the discount rate of 100 basis points or a 5% change in estimated subsequent year performance of the resort would result in a change in the estimated fair value within the range of approximately $14.6 million to $20.0 million.      
Contingent Consideration, Key Assumptions for Valuation The Company estimated the fair value of the Contingent Consideration payments using an option pricing valuation model. The estimated fair value of Contingent Consideration includes future period resort operations of Park City in the calculation of EBITDA on which participating contingent payments are made, which is determined on the basis of estimated subsequent year performance, escalated by an assumed annual growth factor and discounted to present value. Other significant assumptions included a discount rate of 11.1%, and volatility of 14.5%, which together with future period Park City EBITDA, are all unobservable inputs and thus are considered Level 3 inputs.

Business Combination, Contingent Consideration Arrangements, 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 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.
