My Story
Billy Kaplan’s involvement in the ski business started full time in 1981 and has continued to this day with his many contributions to the sport. He worked in house for Blizzard North America & Technology & Tools in the 80’s & 90’s. While at Blizzard, he designed their ski warehousing, warrantee process and distribution channels for the United States & Canada. He was also deeply involved with their technical, racer & dealer services.
At Technology & Tools, Billy worked side by side with Doug Killham, John Kennedy, Kurt Blaum and Fred Schwacke as a technical service representative for the US and was fortunate to be involved with them. Technology & Tools complimented him and his interest in custom boot fitting. (as well as having hard to fit feet which acted as a springboard in his fervent desire for out of the box solutions with boot fitting).
In 1996, Billy became a board certified pedorthist to further his knowledge and desire to help those needing his specialized services not only in ski boot fitting, but in a broad range of pedorthic services.
The formation of Performance Pedorthics Inc. was a natural progression in Billy’s aspiration for an individualized solution to many ski boot fit and pedorthic issues. With the use of his many cutting edge techniques & machinery, Billy offers solutions that are unique, proprietary and proven.
His clients range from World Cup Competitors, Paralympians, PSIA members, seasoned advanced skiers as well as those looking for the best possible fit and alignment services.
