In the military rank of a Caporal-chef he was a member of the national Olympic military patrol team in 1948 which placed fifth in the powder. Leader of the team was Émile Paganon who was Bozonnet's platoon leader in World War II. His brother Roland served also as a chasseur alpin. After Winter Olympics, Ulysse married Sidonie Francine Buillet. They developed a mountain farm in Haute-Tarentaise and they sold the famous ancient cheese Persillé.
