Types of Fun

I'm not 100% sure where I first heard about the different types of fun, but I think it might've been while trip leading for the UMD Adventure Program in college.

Anyways, I now very regularly use these descriptions of fun for describing activities. I do love me some good type II fun from time to time.

For me some clear examples are:

• Type I: skiing fresh powder on a good storm day with friends. Lots of whoops and wahoos
• Type II: a big long run or big day of hiking where it's a bit of a sufferfest partway in, but afterwords you're like "heck yeah I did the thing". Also definitely some days of backpacking depending on how I sleep
• Type III: luckily haven't had too much of this, probably mainly applies to the "wow that was really sketchy and dumb" kind of situations.

I think the below image is a good lil' summary too
