The inaugural NCAA Skiing Championships were held there in March 1954, hosted by the University of Nevada, with the downhill won by Wolf Pack senior Pat Meyers. Later renamed to the "Slide Mountain Ski Area", it operated side-by-side with the "Mount Rose Ski Area", which opened in 1964 on the mountain's north side; the two areas merged in 1987.December 2004 saw the opening of The Chutes at Mount Rose, which offer some of the steepest, consistent terrain in all of Tahoe.In 2018, the Buser family (majority shareholders since 1972) decided to keep the resort, after having it on the market.
