biography
Aubert grew up in the winter sports resort of Les Deux Alpes . At the age of eight she took part in ski races for the first time, at the age of eleven she was accepted into the youth team of the Dauphiné region and was always one of the best of her year. She contested her first FIS race in December 1997, followed by her first appearance in the European Cup in December 1998 . As a result, her performance remained rather inconspicuous, so she was never better at the Junior World Championships than in 16th place.
On November 29, 2003, Aubert drove in Park City for the first time in a World Cup race. However, it took a relatively long time before she was able to implement her talent and make her breakthrough to the top of the world. More than two years passed until the first World Cup points were won; on March 4, 2006 she reached the 27th place in the super combined in Kvitfjell .
In the European Cup, Aubert was able to celebrate two slalom victories in the 2005/06 season, with which she won the discipline classification. In 2007 she took part in a world championship for the first time, but did not get beyond 18th place. In the same year she became French slalom champion. After several World Cup results among the top 20, she reached fifth place in the Super Combined in St. Anton on December 22, 2007 . She confirmed this result a week later with sixth place in the Lienz slalom .
In the 2008/09 season , Aubert's rise continued with initially three results among the top ten. At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère , she was ninth in the super combined. In the World Championship slalom she was surprisingly in third place after the first run, but then fell far behind in the second run after a serious driving error. On March 7, 2009, she finally managed to win the first World Cup in the Ofterschwang slalom. She was able to confirm this result a week later in Åre when she again won a World Cup slalom.
In the 2009/10 season , Aubert was able to assert itself at the top of the world and won two more World Cup slaloms. Overall she reached fourth place in the Slalom World Cup and 14th place in the overall World Cup. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , she achieved fifth place in slalom as the best French woman, while she was only 20th in the super combined. Aubert was less successful in winter 2010/11 than in the last two years . She only finished in the top ten in two World Cup races and fell back to 21st place in the Slalom World Cup. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she was 25th in the slalom. The 2011/12 season was very disappointing , in which her best World Cup result was a 15th place in Kranjska Gora .
In the two following seasons, too, she was nowhere near the level of her most successful years. After her results were not sufficient to participate in the Olympic Games again, she announced her immediate resignation in early February 2014.
