Since December 1999 she has been taking part in the races for the Ski World Cup regularly . She won her first World Cup points in January 2002 when she was 18th in the combination of Saalbach-Hinterglemm . Two years later she finished ninth in the Cortina d'Ampezzo descent for the first time in the top 10. Her best World Cup result so far was achieved on December 15, 2006 with seventh place in the super combined on the Reiteralm .
Alcott took part in all alpine competitions of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002 . Her best result was 14th place in the combination.

She achieved her best results in 2009 in Val-d'Isère with 15th place in the downhill and 17th in the super combined.
