Nobs started her international career in 2001 at an FIS race in Tignes . There she was able to place herself in fifth place and repeated this rank on her World Cup debut a week later in the same place. She confirmed these results during the 2002 season when she celebrated her first win in January 2002 , beating Maria Tichwinskaja and Heidi Krings in Sestriere ( Bardonecchia ) . Another podium place in Bad Gastein and five top ten places in six races brought her fifth place in the World Cup season ranking of snowboard cross in her first year. She did even better in the following 2003 season , where she came second behind Karine Ruby in the World Cup season classification. During the season she was able to win two races, in Berchtesgaden and Arosa , and she also managed to finish in the top ten five times, including a second place in Bad Gastein. Both in the 2004 season and in the 2005 season Nobs managed no further podium place, a fourth place in Tandådalen , Sweden remained her best placement. It was not until the Olympic winter of 2006 that she freed herself from her low form and was able to regain strength with two second places and one third place. Despite the disappointing eleventh place at the Olympics, the season was a great success with place fourteen in the overall World Cup ranking and fourth place in the discipline world cup. In the following season she did not take part in the World Cup, but from 2008 placed in or near the top ten several times. Up until the world championship, she was able to achieve two results in the top ten in the 2009 season , after having only entered the season in Arosa in December.
