Well, the VK was definitely TYPE 2 fun (i.e. not fun while you are doing it, but in hindsight it is remembered as fun, and worth doing again).
It was 6k with 3100' vertical, and I did it in 1:45. I finished third in my age group, and beat a dozen guys in the 50-69 group. Tori, in the enclosed picture finished 12th in her age group, more than 20 minutes faster than me.
