Response to Comment No. 1: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that revenue generated from membership or “Pass” programs was not material to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018; and therefore, we did not include specific accounting policy disclosure related to these programs. The Company will continue to monitor these programs and include future accounting policy disclosures if they become material.
The Company allocates revenue generated from any “Pass” program that offers savings across segments on a proportional basis, based on usage for each segment during the related period.

Please contact me or Keir Gumbs using the contact information previously provided with any questions or further comments regarding our responses to the Staff’s comment.
