Deer Valley Resort in Utah, one of our favorite ski resorts, is gearing up to deliver the largest ski resort expansion in history, just in time for the 2025/26 season. As a part of the resort's "Expanded Excellence" initiative, this project aims to expand the skiable terrain to 5,726 acres, upgrade infrastructure, and eventually redo the Snow Park base area. Here's what you need to know about the upgrades.

“With multiple large-scale projects underway, we’re strategically focusing our efforts to ensure success at every step,” said Todd Bennett, President and COO of Deer Valley Resort. “This winter’s terrain expansion — more than doubling our skiable acreage — is a once-in-a-generation transformation, and it deserves our full attention."

Kauai vs Oʻahu: Which island is better for your Hawaii adventure?

Which island to add to your Hawaiian island itinerary

Hawaii

A trip to the Hawaiian Islands comes with even more decisions and planning than your average destination trip. With a 12-hour trek from the East Coast (even a 6-hour trek from the West Coast), a trip to Hawai‘i isn't a "quick" trip for any traveler. If you're making it through the lengthy plane ride to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, chances are you're not visiting just for one day.

With six main Hawaiian islands to explore, it's not easy to decide where you want to go. Unless you have time to visit all the islands in one trip (at least a month-long trip, realistically), you've got some decisions to make. I visited both Kaua‘i and Oʻahu on my recent trip to Hawai‘i, but didn't have enough time to see the other islands. If you're on the fence between visiting Kaua‘i vs Oʻahu, here's how to decide which island is best for you.
