February 28, 2021 Occupancy Forecast Notes

Hello Breckenridge,

Looking at the Spring Break Period of March 6 – April 3, 2021. Follow the blue line on the chart below as this demonstrates current occupancy on the books.

The current midweek dates up to March 11 will be the slowest days of March 2021. March 13 – 20 remains the peak week of Spring Break. During this week, average occupancy on the books is 84%. Expect Sunday, March 14 – Wednesday, March 17 to hit 90% occupancy. Thursday – Saturday will taper from 88% down to 75% by Saturday, March 20.

Occupancy on the books levels off to the low 60’s beginning March 21 and continuing into April 3. During the week leading into Easter Sunday, April 4, expect a few days to reach 75%+ occupancy. Most days are expected to be in the high 60’s to low 70’s. Last minute snowfall will drive weekend volume, which should surprise no one.

Last minute booking volume remains strong. During the February 2021 booking period, and considering room nights added to the books for the months of February thru April, Breckenridge added 5,000 more room nights to the books than were added for the same period of 2020. March arrivals added 3,650 more nights than the year before. February arrivals added 1,400 more room nights than in February 2020. Before COVID-19 hit, the 2019-20 season was on par with the winter season 2018-19.

For perspective, March 2021 occupancy on the books is 57.5%, compared to 63.2% for March 2019. March 2019 ended at 73% occupancy. March 2018 was the last time Easter was in Early April. March 2018 was at 62.6% on Feb 28 and closed at 71.4%. Definitely hit 67% in March 2021, possibly as high as 69%.

The chart below provides an example of how occupancy levels for each winter season month is pacing and how the YOY variance shifted in 30 days.

YOY Variance on December YOY 31, 2020 2020 2019 Variance Report November 28.3% 29.8% -5.0% -5% December 51.8% 54.8% -5.5% -5.5% January 54.0% 62.2% -13.2% -21.7% February 66.5% 68.6% -3.1% -8.4% March 57.5% 60.3% -4.6% -17.8% April 15.3% 23.6% -35.2% -48.5% Season 46.5% 50.9% -8.6% -12.0%

Room nights on the books for winter season are down 5.9% year over Year (YOY). The average nightly rate is up $5 YOY. The Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) is down $12 or -7% YOY.

We have summer 2021 data through August 2021. I remind all, this represents what was on the books Feb 29, 2020, pre-COVID-19 and Feb 28, 2021, COVID Pandemic times. Most importantly, COVID had not cancelled 2020 groups as of yet. I continue to like the June 2021 booking pattern and all third party consumer data shows July 2021 to be a big travel month in the US.

June midweek nights on the books already exceed 2020 actual occupancy. The weekends will take care of themselves.

Thank you to the Lodging companies who provide the data for the reports. We cannot forget to thank our second homeowners in this equation as well. If you are a lodging company and are interested in participating in this program, please contact me @ [email protected] or 970.4553.5022. The cost to participate is your time and the benefits are multiple.

Stay Safe and have fun every day.

DESCRIPTION: The Reservation Activity Outlook Report tracks occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR); the key metrics most of interest to lodging properties. The report combines the data sets of participating properties into a destination wide view that features three data sets (providing that sufficient information is available) including: i)current YTD occupancy, ii) last YTD occupancy, iii) last season's ending occupancy. The Reservation Activity Outlook Report is generated on a monthly basis, usually for a 12 month subscription period, and is created from data provided by a group of properties participating in a cooperative manner, and representing a valid set of data as a result. Report results are provided only to those properties who participate by submitting their data. Additionally, participating properties can order (on an a-la-carte basis) an individual report which shows the reservation activity of their property, measured against an aggregated set of competitive properties that they choose from amongst Inntopia's other participants. As is the case in all Inntopia data, all information provided by individual properties is strictly confidential, except when aggregated with other data and indistinguishable as a result.

*Based on providing complete pacing data within a given month of occupancy only. Results may differ from those presented elsewhere in report if property set differs. **Results for "Percent Variance in incremental fill" indicate how room nights booked during the month just ended compare to room nights booked during the same month in the prior year, for occupancy in the month just ended and for the upcoming five months (as well as the six-month period in total). These results provide an indication of the degree to which booking activity occurring during the month just ended was greater or less than booking activity occurring in the same month a year ago -- i.e. a measure of the strength of booking activity occurring during the month just ended.

SUMMIT COUNTY – Summit County Public Health officials submitted a request to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to move 5 Star certified businesses from Level Yellow to Level Blue restrictions on the State Dial 2.0, citing that Colorado met the goal of vaccinating 70% of its 70 and older population by Feb. 28, as announced on the Governor’s press conference today.

5 Star certified businesses are allowed to operate in Level Blue restrictions effective immediately. Capacity restrictions in Level Blue include:

 Restaurants are now eligible to operate at 50% capacity, not to exceed 175 people (or up to 225 with space calculator), whichever is less.  Gyms and fitness centers can operate at 50% capacity, not to exceed 175 people, whichever is less.  Personal Services businesses can operate at 50% capacity, not to exceed 50, whichever is less (this capacity is unchanged from Yellow to Blue). The local public health order is being modified with respect to last call, removing the 10:00 p.m. cut-off time for sales of alcohol. Going forward, 5 Star certified restaurants must cease all alcohol beverage sales, service, possession, and consumption to end consumers (including employees) for on-premises consumption at 10:30 p.m.

The personal gathering restriction remains the same in Level Blue with a limit of no more than 10 people from no more than two households, which applies to seating at restaurants. Summit County 5 Star businesses must comply with all 5 Star protocols, Level Blue requirements in the CDPHE Public Health Order and all applicable state and local guidance.

“We welcome the opportunity to allow our 5 Star businesses to operate under Level Blue capacity restrictions in recognition of their effort to go above and beyond to create a safe atmosphere for employees and guests,” said Commissioner Elisabeth Lawrence. “Our goal as a county is to continue to reduce the spread of the virus in our community and allow our businesses to open further.”

“We encourage everyone to make an effort, including avoiding gatherings, wearing a mask, staying home if sick, getting tested, and registering to get the vaccine as soon as it is available for your phase. Through these actions, we can help our businesses open further, increase employment opportunities, and return to life as normal sooner, added Lawrence.” Summit County continues to see outbreaks associated with events, gatherings at short-term rental units, parties and activities at various workplaces and venues. Officials caution that CDPHE reserves the right to move Summit County to a more restrictive level at any point should circumstances warrant more aggressive restrictions. CDPHE has not provided any timeline for such potential increases in restrictions, but it will continue to monitor COVID-19 data and respond accordingly.

Summit County Expands 5 Star Program to Include Indoor Events

Eligible businesses are encouraged to apply at any time for 5 Star certification in order to operate in Level Blue capacity limits

Contact: Nicole Valentine, Summit County Director of Communications

SUMMIT COUNTY – Summit County Public Health announced Thursday that due to declining COVID case numbers, the county would be expanding the 5 Star program to include indoor events.

“We thank our community for the tremendous effort to reduce the spread of the virus,” said Commissioner Josh Blanchard. “In light of our declining case numbers, we feel that it makes sense to open the 5 Star program to indoor events and enable these businesses to operate at a greater capacity.”

“I understand first-hand the important role capacity plays when producing and hosting events and performances,” added Blanchard. “I hope that we can continue to reduce our case numbers in order to move to the next level on the State dial and enable all our businesses to open further.”

Summit County’s case numbers currently place it in Level Yellow, allowing 5 Star Certified business to operate one Level below at Level Blue. Level Blue restrictions include capacity limits of 50% of posted occupancy limit, not to exceed 175 people per room for unseated events. Seated events may have up to 225 people per room using the Distancing Space Calculator as long as they do not exceed 50% of the posted occupancy limit and unrelated parties are seated at least 6 feet from each other.

This guidance should be applied beyond traditional events if the business in question does not clearly fit into any other guidance category. Take escape rooms for example, that do not clearly fit into any one business sector. They should follow guidance for unseated indoor events. Other examples include arcades, wedding receptions, large-scale trade shows, and museums.

Events that can fully follow the restaurant guidelines for the entire event may operate as a restaurant and follow those guidelines. This means that parties are seated, there are no shared activities, and any performers are at least 12 feet from patrons. Events in this category should consult the CDPHE restaurant guidance for more details.

The 5 Star program allows businesses that demonstrate exceptional COVID-19 mitigation measures to operate at increased capacities, relative to what is permitted under the current level.

To receive 5 Star certification, indoor events must meet criteria outlined in the Summit County 5 Star Permit Application.

Eligible businesses are encouraged to apply at any time for 5 Star certification. Inspections will be scheduled by the relevant jurisdiction. Businesses may operate under the 5 Star guidelines as soon as they pass inspection and receive certification. More details on capacity restrictions in Level Blue for all business sectors can be found on the CDPHE Dial page. Capacity restrictions specific to 5 Star businesses can be found at the Summit County 5 Star page.

Summit County continues to see outbreaks associated with events, gatherings at short-term rental units, parties and activities at various workplaces and venues. Officials caution that CDPHE reserves the right to move Summit County to a more restrictive level at any point should circumstances warrant more aggressive restrictions. CDPHE has not provided any timeline for such potential increases in restrictions, but it will continue to monitor COVID-19 data and respond accordingly.

Eligible businesses that are not 5 Star certified are encouraged to apply via the application on the Summit County Government website.

A year ago this month the whole world went into lockdown. At the time, we were in the midst of incredible programming to support Women’s History Month, rebranding and preparing to host our annual benefit.

Meet Kathryn Bigelow, the first and ONLY woman to win Best Director at the Academy Awards for the film “The Hurt Locker” in 2010. That’s correct. In its 92 years of running, only one woman has received an Oscar for Best Director.

This month we’ll highlight women in film across all our platforms. From Jodie Foster who won a Golden Globe this week for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “The Mauritanian,” the members only film we showed in February, to our Filmmaker of the Month Jen McGowan, we’re shining a spotlight on women in the industry! Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to learn more.

COMING SOON!

Woo! We are stoked to present the Colorado Premiere of “Super Frenchie!” This action packed documentary follows the journey and philosophy of pro skier and BASE Jumper Matthias Giraud.

The film is available at 7:00pm MST on Tuesday, March 9.

But wait! There’s more!

Matthias and the film’s director, Chase Ogden, will join us for a special Q&A live online Tuesday, March 9 at 8:30 pm following the release of the film.

The Q&A will be recorded and the film will be available through Sunday, March 14 if you’re unable to join Tuesday evening.

Summit High School Congratulates 2021 National Merit Scholarship Finalists

Tucker R. Berg Peter J. Vos (BRECKENRIDGE, CO - MARCH 5, 2021) Congratulations to Peter J. Vos and Tucker R. Berg of Summit High School. Both of these scholars have “advanced to Finalist standing in the National Merit Scholarship Program for two thousand and twenty-one by demonstrating through distinguished performance high potential for future academic accomplishment” (National Merit Scholarship Program, Certificate of Merit).

Vos and Berg are among 15,000 Finalists eligible to become a Merit Scholarship winner in the 66th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

“Being named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist is an outstanding accomplishment, and our scholars should be proud of this recognition,” said Dr. Tim Ridder, Summit High School Principal. “Being a Finalist demonstrates true dedication to academic achievement, and I commend them for their hard work as well as our outstanding educators who have supported them along their educational journeys toward success.”

Each year, the National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSC) honors talented U.S. high school students for academic excellence. Approximately 1.5 million students from 22,000 high schools across the country enter the program.

These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for approximately 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.

To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Finalists must have an outstanding academic record, be endorsed by a high school official, and fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. The scholar must submit an essay and detailed scholarship application, including information about academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received.

National Merit Scholarship winners of 2021 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July. These scholarship recipients will join more than 353,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title. ###
