(Bloomberg) – American International Group Inc., the insurer that's been divesting assets to narrow its focus, agreed to sell ski operations at Vermont's Stowe Mountain to Vail Resorts Inc.

AIG will retain majority ownership of the base area, which includes a 312-room lodge, along with a country club and future development rights, according to statements Tuesday from the companies.

The Broomfield, Colorado-based buyer gains a foothold in the U.S. East Coast to complement locations in its home state, Utah and California.

Simplifying investment portfolio

AIG Chief Executive Officer Peter Hancock has been simplifying the investment portfolio, exiting some volatile hedge fund holdings and reshaping its real estate division. The CEO last year completed the sale of International Finance Centre Seoul in Korea. The Stowe deal fits a pattern of AIG retaining financial ties to divested assets, while leaving some oversight to operators with more specialized management.
