KT-22
KT-22, known as “The Mothership,” is Palisades Tahoe’s most iconic peak and a proving ground for expert skiers and riders.

Go left off the chair toward Women’s Downhill, a former Olympic course, or veer right to the West Face, a tree-lined slope that holds powder long after a storm. With thrilling terrain, iconic lines, and a legacy tied to freeskiing legend Shane McConkey, KT-22 is the ultimate peak for experts ready to test their skills.
