The Ups, and the Downs: Abishai Corey

The Ups, and the Downs: Abishai Corey

This year I have had to keep a clear mind while racing at the level I am in. Zero expectations is the only way I won’t destroy myself mentally. Sometimes I don’t even realize the amount of pressure I am putting myself under. 
Meet Tyler Murphy

Meet Tyler Murphy

Tyler is a born and bred New Englander who brings a calm, cool, and collected energy to all of Burgeon’s endeavors as one of our most long-standing employees.  He’s been our Director of Marketing for going on two years (we’re still so young!), plus almost a year’s worth of experience with the company through internships and part-time work before that.  He has a lot of institutional knowledge, and I’ve been lucky enough to learn a lot from him.

Meet Sabrina Hamilton

It’s hard to summarize what Sabrina does for Burgeon Outdoor in just a title.  As our Lead Stitcher, she fabricates a significant portion of our products herself (I can think of at least five items in my closet right now that have been made by her hands), but she brings so much more to the Burgeon team than the skills of a talented stitcher.

Summer, Without the Break: Abishai Corey

This summer I have been working on raising money and increasing muscle. Ski racing isn’t exactly the cheapest sport so I work three to four jobs each summer to support my dream. 
Year 5

Year 5

 Year 5 has already started.  It is hard to believe that just over four years ago Burgeon Outdoor was born.  


When we started we did not know if Burgeon would be a day hike, a Presi Traverse, a Direttissima, an Appalachian Trail through hike, or something more.  But we know now.  It is something more, much, much more.

Season Wrap-Up: Abishai Corey

Season Wrap-Up: Abishai Corey

Many say a season is over when you cross the finish line of your final race. This, however, is not true for me. The off-season is where I prepare for the next season. As my dad says, “Races in February are won now.” I know next season will come up quicker than I imagine, and all I can do is prepare for it.

Winning the Day, not the Race

Winning the Day, not the Race

The Tuckerman Inferno is a daunting challenge - a six mile fat bike, a six mile cross country ski, a five mile snowshoe, a 2.4 mile trail run and a ski mountaineering course in Tuckerman Ravine.  It’s certainly not for everyone.  The race requires both endurance and expertise in multiple outdoor skills.
