Lessee, Operating Leases | 4. Leases The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of resort land and land improvements, commercial and retail space, office space, employee residential units, vehicles and other equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception or modification. The Company’s lease contracts generally range from 1 year to approximately 70 years, with some lease contracts containing one or more lease extension options, exercisable at the Company’s discretion. The Company generally does not include these lease extension options in the initial lease term as it is not reasonably certain that it will exercise such options at contract inception. In addition, certain lease arrangements contain fixed and variable lease payments. The variable lease payments are primarily contingent rental payments based on: (i) a percentage of revenue related to the leased property; (ii) payments based on a percentage of sales over contractual levels; or (iii) lease payments adjusted for changes in an index or market value. These variable lease payments are typically recognized when the underlying event occurs and are included in operating expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as the expense arising from the respective fixed lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements may also include non-lease components, such as common area maintenance and insurance, which are accounted for separately. Future lease payments that are contingent or represent non-lease components are not included in the measurement of the operating lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Lease expense related to lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. As a result, the Company measures the lease liability using an estimated incremental borrowing rate which is intended to reflect the rate of interest the Company would pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The Company applies the estimated incremental borrowing rates at a portfolio level based on the economic environment associated with the lease. The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance to determine recognition and measurement of an ROU asset impairment, if any. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment. The components of lease expense for the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

The current portion of operating lease liabilities of approximately $34.9 million and $32.6 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is recorded within accounts payables and accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease liabilities are recorded within long-term debt, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of finance lease liabilities is presented within long-term debt due within one year in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Canyons finance lease obligation was $374.9 million and $369.1 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represents the estimated annual fixed lease payments for the remaining period of the initial 50 year term of the lease assuming annual increases at the floor of 2% and discounted using an interest rate of 10%. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has recorded $74.3 million and $81.9 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with the Canyons lease, net of $108.9 million and $101.7 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Whistler Blackcomb employee housing finance lease obligation was $27.4 million and $27.9 million as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represents the minimum lease payments for the remaining period of the initial 20 year term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, discounted using an interest rate of 6.95%. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has recorded $24.2 million and $25.7 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with these leases, net of $3.8 million and $2.5 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company reassessed its lease agreements for the operations of Northstar Resort (“Northstar”), for which the initial lease terms expire in January 2027 and the agreements provide for three 10-year optional lease extensions. Prior to the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company had not determined that it was reasonably certain to exercise any of the optional lease extensions for Northstar and, accordingly, only the initial lease terms were considered in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. During the year ended July 31, 2024, due to near-term operating decisions which would be influenced by the decision to extend the lease, the Company reassessed the lease extensions and determined that it was reasonably certain that it will exercise the first of its 10-year optional lease extensions at Northstar, and as a result, the Company recorded incremental operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $75.7 million each. Additionally, the Company recorded finance lease ROU assets of $13.1 million and finance lease obligations of $12.8 million as of July 31, 2024, which represent the minimum lease payments for the remaining 13 year reassessed term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, related to assets for which the Company determined that the remaining reassessed lease term represented a major part of the remaining economic life of such assets. As of the remeasurement date for the Northstar leases, the ROU assets and liabilities were discounted using an interest rate of 6.6%. The Northstar Resort finance lease obligation was $12.1 million as of July 31, 2025, which represents the minimum lease payments for the remaining 13 year reassessed term of the lease, net of amounts representing interest, discounted using an interest rate of 6.6%. As of July 31, 2025, the Company has recorded $12.0 million of net finance lease ROU assets in connection with these leases, net of $1.1 million of accumulated amortization, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
