Melhouse is the first technical trail on Sundance and is a blue-rated, hand-built singletrack. It features a flowy ride with bermed corners that wind through the Three Bears glades. Starting at the top of Sundance, it links into Might as Well and finishes at Old Homesteader Road. Melhouse is the most accessible technical trail in the bike park, making it a great introduction to tech riding.
