Salt Lake City – October 05, 2026 -- Nolla Health has become the first company in the country authorized to let an AI system issue initial prescriptions, starting with acne treatment for adults in Utah through its Nolla Derm app for $4.99 a month.

The approval, granted after months of work with the Utah Office of Artificial Intelligence, lets Nolla's AI prescribe acne medication directly to patients 18 and older, bypassing the waitlists and office visits that keep most people from ever seeing a dermatologist.

Nolla targets a gap affecting 100,000 Utah residents

An estimated 100,000 people in Utah live with active acne at any given time, but only 10% ever see a dermatologist, according to the company. The average wait for an appointment in the state is 61 days -- nearly double the national median -- and 11 Utah counties have no dermatologist at all. Visits that do happen can cost up to $300.

A new Electric Horseman high-speed quad will carry riders to the entire back mountain in roughly six minutes. The new Storyteller ridge run adds a 1.7-mile groomed run along with access to three expert gladed chutes.

Five season pass tiers cover every schedule and budget

The Unlimited Season Pass has no blackout dates and costs $799 for adults aged 27 and up, $669 for young adults (18-26), $409 for youth (13-18, high school), $319 for juniors (6-12) and $359 for seniors (65+).

New York – September 18, 2026 -- ENGWE has launched Eagle, its first electric dirt bike, priced at $899 against a $1,199 MSRP, with the first 300 orders receiving a $276 riding kit that includes gloves, knee pads, goggles and a U-lock.

The bike marks ENGWE's move beyond commuter e-bikes into off-road recreation, aimed at riders looking to explore trails rather than pavement.

A 14-year-old with Tourette syndrome becomes the face of the launch

ENGWE named Carter Metcalfe, 14, as Eagle's product ambassador. Metcalfe, who has Tourette syndrome, has said mountain biking gave him confidence and a way to express himself as he faced challenges growing up. He now shares his story to encourage other young riders to take on new challenges.

Salt Lake City – September 07, 2026 -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has opened reservations for tours of the renovated Salt Lake Temple ahead of a six-month public celebration running April 5 to October 1, 2027.

The celebration carries the theme "Rejoice in Christ"

Church leaders announced the theme at a media event held at the new West Temple Entrance Building on Temple Square. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, chair of the Salt Lake Temple Executive Committee, said the church wanted to invite people of any background to "come and see and love Jesus Christ and the people who come here."

The same phrase has also been chosen as the church's 2027 youth theme, drawn from Philippians 4:4. Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman said the shared theme will connect youth worldwide to the celebration and to temple worship more broadly.
