The 2nd place finish was in Moguls in Ruka, Finland on December 10, 2011, where she scored a 22.25 (Hannah Kearney, also of the US Ski Team, won with a score of 24.70). Her World Cup victory came in moguls in Sierra Nevada, Spain on March 18, 2010; in 2nd and 3rd were Austrian Margarita Marbler and American Heather McPhie, and Outtrim was the fastest of the podium finishers and won with a score of 24.38, which was more than half a point higher than Marbler's 23.73 and McPhie's 23.71.
