After the 2003 season so successful for her, Veronika Cvašková temporarily ended her career. Only after a five-year break did she return to competition in 2009. The greatest success in her comeback season was winning the silver medal in slalom at the 2009 World Championships in Rettenbach , Austria ; in the World Cup in 2009 she remained without a podium.
