biography

Cook learned to ski at the age of four in the Lake Tahoe ski area. Her talent helped her as a young girl to receive a scholarship to the Northstar ski area , which is located on the lake , where she also competed and won her first races.

After numerous FIS races , she made her debut in March 2001 at the age of 16 in the Nor-Am Cup . Cook quickly caught up with the top runners. Only a year and a half after her first race, she celebrated her first victory in this North American racing series in the Lake Louise downhill race and at the end of the 2002/03 season she landed in the disciplines of the Nor-Am Cup in both downhill and super-G each in third place. In the following season she then dominated the speed disciplines. Cook won all four Nor-Am-Cup runs of the winter and secured the overall ranking of the 2004 Nor-Am Cup with six placements among the top ten in the Super-G.

Her good performance served as a guarantee for the leap into the US national ski team. After all, on January 30, 2004, she contested her first World Cup race on the downhill run in Haus im Ennstal, Austria . Here, however, it took almost a year and a half before she was able to achieve her first World Cup points - also hampered by a serious fall that forced her to take a break of several weeks at the beginning of January 2005.

At the start of the 2005/06 season , Cook went completely surprisingly to places 10 and 8 on the two runs from Lake Louise and with these results qualified for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin . In the following races, however, she was unable to assert herself in the front ranks and remained in the second member of the US ski team. It wasn't until the beginning of the 2006/07 season that she managed to get back to the top ten with fourth place in the Lake Louise Downhill. During the next six years this remained her best World Cup result, as constant placements in the top ranks continued to fail. The sixth place in the Super-G of Tarvisio towards the end of the season was also her last top 10 result in the World Cup for the next three years. At the 2007 World Championships in Åre , she finished 16th in the downhill.

In the 2007/08 season Cook drove four times in the top 15, but in the 2008/09 season she came in only three World Cup races under the fastest 30. The more surprising were her results at the 2009 World Cup in Val-d'Isère , where she She was ninth in the downhill and was well ahead of her best World Cup results this winter with 16th place in the Super Combined and 22nd place in the Super G. In the 2009/10 season , Cook was once again among the fastest 15 times, with ninth place in the downhill from Haus im Ennstal, her first top 10 result in the World Cup since March 2007. Thus, she was again part of the US contingent in the downhill at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , which she finished in eleventh place.

In the 2010/11 season Cook achieved two top 10 results in the World Cup with fifth place in the downhill from Åre and ninth in the downhill from Lenzerheide . At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she was 25th in the downhill. She showed herself to be quite consistent in the 2011/12 season , in which she was among the top ten in five downhill runs and was thus also among the top ten in the Downhill World Cup for the first time. In the first speed races of the 2012/13 season , the runs in Lake Louise on November 30th and December 1st, she finally achieved her first World Cup podium positions in second place behind Lindsey Vonn .

On July 7, 2018, she announced her retirement from active ski racing.
