a cut and paste from the pinkbike forums, posted yesterday:
"We rode Little Elbow just past the junction to Elbow Lake and its a mess. We actually lost the trail at a really bad wash out where the river had been flowing down the trail a few K into the Big Elbow return trail and decided to turn around. Every single low point in the trail has been obliterated. Any downhill finishes with a hike across a boulder and carnage field. Some had 10' deep washouts and downed trees, others were a few feet wide and not too bad. Several washouts were over a hundred metres wide.

It took us 2 hours to the top of the pass, and an hour trying to rout find at the last washout. Then we had to climb back to the top of the pass and do it all over again on the way back. Took around 5 hours. In the end we only got 24 k into the loop ccw.

I want to go back and see if the first 4 k of Big Elbow exists anymore to access Forgetmenot Mountain Rounder"
