Bogner's success as a skier allowed him and his wife, Maria, to establish a clothing line in 1932, that included outfitting the German national ski team at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
In 1933, he participated together with Matthias Wörndle and Gustav "Gustl" Müller at the first Trofeo Mezzalama event, where they placed third.
Bogner joined the Schutzstaffel branch of the Nazi Party in April 1933.
Bogner won a pair of medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships with a silver in the 4 × 10 km event in 1934 and a bronze in the nordic combined in 1935.
Together, they had three children, Rosemarie, Michael, and Wilhelm (Willy Jr.) They established a clothing line led to outfitting the German national ski team at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
Bogner Sr. also finished 6th in the 4 × 10 km event and 12th in the Nordic combined at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where he also took the Olympic Oath.
During his career, Bogner Sr. was an eleven-time German and five-time nordic skiing champion.
In 1937 he married Maria Lux, an athletic woman who joined his company to design sports apparel in 1932.
He competed athletically for the SS in cross-country skiing and achieved the rank of Untersturmführer in 1939.
His son, Willy Bogner Jr. (born 1942), was a successful alpine skier in the late 1950s and 1960s who competed for Germany at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley and the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck.
Following his stay as a POW during World War II, Bogner Sr. returned to their business in 1947.
