WB Line name clarification

"Don't Miss" I've now heard this name used for a line on both Blackcomb and Whistler.

So is it the line off the front of the peak that got Mr Treadway banned, or is the line between Teetering Rock and Purple Haze with the sketchy exposed traverse to get onto?

Also while I have your attention.

The ice fall looking line to the lookers right of Teetering, has that ever filled in enough to have been skied?

Don't Miss is the line right above the bomb tram on the Peak. It's labeled on really old Whistler maps. Many people have been banned over the years (some for life) after skiing it. Hell, I was banned for a year (from buying a pass), after skiing East Face (East side of the same slope) about 10 years ago.

A friend skied it a couple weeks ago. I'd think it's been skied many many times.
This is if we are talking about the same line.

Anyone have a good pic of the face to the lookers right of Teetering.

looks like a lot of work for two turns, but the entrance is definetly interesting. Looked like two tracks in it yesterday.

That icefall line doesn't look skiable at the moment, unless you straightlined it into the mogul field, but maybe a couple more of these humid storms would change that

Okay now I have a pic to clarify the line.

So I would like to know the name of the line on the far lookers right. It's my understanding that you can only traverse in via the sketch bit above the cliff starting from the centre chute.

Also a name on that centre chute to the right of Teetering. A couple more good wet April storms and that sucker is skiable.

Didn't the pic of Treadway's drop off the peak make it into WB promotional material? And they still yanked his pass for it!

I skied that far right line last Sat. Hit a wind drift in the bowl at a million miles an hour. Got a torn up shoulder for my trouble.

The ice fall looks like it could go either way depending on the weather, could just melt away, or get plastered and be g2g. The runout in the bowl could get violent though.

Ha I gapped and didn't read the old posts before I replied when this got bumped.

But I think the person said Mixed not Micks. I'll have to ask.

Anyone know the name of the last chute on Disease Ridge? The one past Widow Maker. And the upper chute that connects the top of said chute to Widow Maker?
