At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Cook finished 19th in the aerials event. Her best finish at the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships was fourth in the aerials at Inawashiro in 2009.

Her finals score went down from her qualifying score because she was unable to stick her landing. Her 8th-place finish was her best placing in her Olympic career.[4]
