Where to ski in Vermont this winter

Korean Air is among the last airlines still flying the iconic Boeing 747, but it's scheduled to pull the jet from a particularly long US route in 2025.

It's not often that Marika Favé, our impish, fast-talking mountain guide, falls silent. It's a spring morning on the packed, sun-streaked gondola to the peak of the Marmolada glacier, the highest point in the Dolomites. A former national skier for Italy whose family has lived in the Fassa Valley for generations, Favé has been telling Jack, the photographer I'm traveling with, and me about the grimly determined Austro-Hungarian soldiers who dug a small city into the ice up here during the Great War. But as the gondola passes another rocky bluff and great blankets of untouched shadow-draped powder come into view, the war stories cease and a grin spreads across her face. We don't know exactly what the plan is when the gondola clanks to a halt at the Punta Rocca, a viewing platform at 10,700 feet that looks out over all of the Dolomites. But the mountain air seems charged with the palpable sense that, on this exact Thursday morning, something very good is about to happen.

Ski season in the western United States and Canada doesn't look like it did a decade ago. Despite the fact that climate change has made snowfall far less predictable, resorts have never been more crowded. This is partly because so many of the region's best mountains now accept the multi-resort Epic and Ikon passes, making it cost-effective to spend more days at more destinations, and also because the COVID-era uptick in the sport has endured. Long lift lines and packed runs, as well as sold-out slope-adjacent hotels, are now the norm.

Growing up in Florida, my winters involved ocean plunges in bathing suits, not skiing in snowsuits.

Voted by Condé Nast Traveler readers as one of the best airports in the world, Dubai International shows how far this gleaming city of superlatives has come. What began as a modest desert runway strip back in the 1960s has since morphed into a global aviation juggernaut—with tens of millions of hungry mouths to feed each year.

There’s a new record in air travel and it doesn’t have to do with flight length: it’s Turkish Airlines and the sheer number of countries they fly to.

Planning to drive between France and Italy in 2025? You can now take the Mont-Blanc Tunnel, which links the two countries beneath the Alps, as it has been reopened after months of renovation work.

This winter, if the bookings at Ski.com, North America’s largest ski-focused travel agency, are any indication, one of skiing’s biggest secrets is out: It can be cheaper to ski in Europe than at a U.S. mountain resort.

The first-ever Sky Club at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT) officially opened today, Dec. 18, Delta Air Lines shared with T+L. This new space, measuring over 14,000 square feet, is located in the newly expanded Concourse A on the mezzanine level.

With plummeting temperatures and shorter days, winter can sometimes feel a little doom and gloom. But that doesn't mean you can't find beauty in the season — you just have to know where to look.

The colder months are upon us, which typically means one of two things for travelers: it’s time to ski—or it’s time to seek warmer weather. Which one are you? In family-friendly Sarasota, a new beachfront hotel pays homage to the region’s performing arts past; and on the other side of Florida in Palm Beach, the island’s first new hotel in years is giving all the Palm Royale vibes your heart desires.
