[date of activity roughly estimated] From email on 2/22/2020: "The mountains around Emigrant Peak have certainly reached their tipping point. Skinning up in the morning we witnessed the debris of more than a dozen avalanches on all aspects, more than I have ever seen in a single day. Many of these avalanches were extremely large and powerful deep slabs that broke towards the ground, likely to have released within the past week. Slides were running to the end of their runout zones and carried with them many trees that were torn to shreds."
