On December 19, 2021 I ran the 3 Peaks Loop. I started at 8:07 and got back to the car at 12:50. It was a beautiful morning with temps in the mid 30s. The trails (Breakneck especially) were still pretty wet from the previous night's rain. Breakneck should not be underestimated when wet. Its also worth noting that there are now signs saying not to go back downhill on the Breakneck ascent from 9D (before this was just recommended), so the main loop should probably be ran counterclockwise. This is a gorgeous ridge! I've spent quite a bit of time on these trails but still lost some time to routefinding. Sugarloaf appears to be closed for good now as shown by this link and the trip reports of the last two who've posted times for this route. I ran by myself, unsupported.
