Seems like speculation to me. Lift ticket prices for every ski area are likely to increase any ways. Hard to suggest specific causation due to a parent company loosing money. Not sure what Stowe's numbers look like, but if Stowe is doing well, I would suspect AIG would focus on the aspects of its operations that are causing the most red. Increasing prices is not always the best way to get more revenue and profit, especially if prices are at the max the market will bear. Cost cutting is always the preferred route if that avenue has not already been taken to its breaking point.
