Anyone ridden to the top of Thredbo?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I'm in Thredbo at the moment and keep looking at the lazy buggers getting the chairlifts to the top.
Anyone know of a way to ride up there?
I've looked at Google earth and maps and there seems to be a few access/maintenance trails around but are they too steep or not rideable?
Anyone been stupid enough to ride up there?

Ok, I'm selling my Scalpel 29er ( classified to come soon )
And am building up a new bike with a "normal" fork.
I've set my mind on a 2014 Sid XX 29er but have realised there's the World Cup version at around $200 extra.
I know its got a carbon steerer, it's got the same internals I think?
Does anyone know exact weights of both these forks?
If the weight advantage is negligible then I won't ( 'scuse the pun ) Fork out the extra cash for the World Cup version and stick with the Xx.

Anyone had any reviews on one of these?

It's a cheaper version of the Topeak one but it still looks ok and is a third of the price.
Just wondered if anyone had already purchased one?

I havn't bought a Mtb magazine for a couple of years now as most of the info i ever need and ever read is on the net.
Last Thursday i signed up for a subcription with Flow MTB, It's a new online Australian mag with regular updates and stories of current Mtb stuff in Oz and around the globe.

Sydney trail updates?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

All the local trail updates are showing green but this is probably due to no one riding in the last few days.
Anyone got a heads up on the state of the trails this morning?
The Dam? Terrey Hills? Red Hill? Cascades?
