Plans are in place to keep Mt Rose Ski Resort a family-owned business. Fritz Buser has transferred the majority interest in the ski area to his children and grandchildren. Fritz Buser became the company’s majority shareholder in 1971 and has controlled the growth and direction of Mt. Rose ever since, including the merger with Slide Mountain in 1987. His son Kurt has been Executive President of the company for the last 20 years and in this position will continue to shape the future of the resort. The new owners put great emphasis on continuity with the current management team and a crew led by Paul Senft, who has been general manager since 1992.
