PARK CITY, Utah (April 15) - The U.S. Disabled Ski Team is savoring one of its most successful seasons after a winter in which both alpine and nordic skiers won World Cup titles, the alpine squad successfully defended its Nations' Cup, symbolic of World Cup supremacy, and Steve Cook (LW-4; Salt Lake City) not only won two more cross country titles at the World Championships but took the World Cup crown, too.

In alpine, athletes collected 55 podiums in 16 races. Sit-skier Laurie Stephens (LW-12/1; Wenham, MA) continued her amazing run in just her second season on the World Cup with 10 wins and five other top-3s in 16 races. She wasn't the only women's winner, though: four other U.S. women had World Cup wins, too.

As a rookie, Stephens - born with spinal bifida - was unbeaten in giant slalom and was the women's World Cup overall champion, too.

As a "sophomore" on the World Cup, anxious to convince herself the 2004 results weren't a fluke, Stephens won all four titles - overall, slalom (she tied for the title), GS and super G. There was only one downhill, so no official title was awarded. Stephens also won all GS races for the second straight year

Among the men, sit-skier Chris Devlin-Young (LW-12/1; Campton, NH) won five races and captured the men's super G title. He was second overall among sit-skiers. Three other U.S. men each won a World Cup race.

In cross country, where a limited World Cup season included seven races including three at World Championships, Cook - who lost his right leg below the knee in a 1988 tractor accident - had three victories. He won two freestyle technique races at Worlds and said his goal for the summer was to boost his classic technique because two of the three Paralympics races next March will be classic.
