In the 1984/85 season, the slalom specialist won the World Cup races in Davos (Switzerland) and Bad Kleinkirchheim (Austria). When she won her debut on December 9, 1984, she wore the number 22; The day before, Traudl Hächer won the Super-G, the first career victory . In total, Guignard made it into the World Cup 32 times, including 20 times in the top ten (10 giant slalom runs, 9 slaloms, 1 combination).

In the giant slalom of the 1989 World Ski Championships in Vail, she reached third place, but was then disqualified for a doping offense. Her first bronze medal was later awarded to the Yugoslav Mateja Svet .
