About AfroHabesha
Outdoors

Born in Colorado. Built for community. Open to everyone.

Who We Are

AfroHabesha Outdoors was founded by Haile and Yeti with a clear mission: expand access to outdoor spaces for the Ethiopian and African diaspora community in Colorado.

What began as the first-ever Ethiopian Ski Day at Breckenridge has blossomed into a thriving outdoor movement — now in our 3rd year — and growing every season with skiing, hiking, and camping events.

We believe that every Ethiopian and African diaspora member deserves to feel represented, welcomed, and celebrated in the outdoors. So we created spaces that feel like home — complete with community, culture, and Ethiopian food.

"The mountains have always called to us. We just needed to answer — together."
