Origin Story

218 Days is the brainchild of Sara Zeleznikar, Director of Sales at Odyssey Resorts. A proud northern Minnesotan, Sara spent more than five years living in Colorado before returning home to the 218. During her time in the mountains, she came to appreciate just how special Northern Minnesota truly is. When she moved back, she set her sights on celebrating that distinct spirit. The Odyssey Resorts team felt the same—and when Sara shared her idea, they were all in.
