Memorial #2 is the backside chute to Tolcat.
Park at the Neffs Canyon trailhead in Mount Olympus Cove. From here follow the road up into Neffs Canyon. At the first junction head to the right up into N Fork of Neff's. This trail is narrow and winds through the tight trees as it heads to the S. The area is very brushy and can be a rough go in low snow years, or when conditions are thin, but persevere and you'll find yourself at the base of the Memorial Couloirs for some excellent steep and tight chute skiing.
It starts from the large saddle between the N and S summits, and drops away from the city into the NE. This is the widest and shortest of the memorial lines. It's also the mellowest in pitch, but it's fun if you're in the area. It can hold better snow than Tolcat as well, so it might be a better option depending on conditions and the snow that year. A great day is to link them all up!
