The Carrera Ski Racing Team achieved more successes in the last races before the end of the year. In Flachau, Austria, Rainer Schoenfelder - the defending Slalom World Cup champion - was 2nd in the slalom. The Austrian thus moved up in the slalom standings: he is now 3rd, only 31 points behind his team-mate Benjamin Raich.

In St Moritz, Sweden's Anja Paerson, 13th in Super-G and 2nd in Giant Slalom, regained the lead in the Overall standings. The 2004 Overall champion finished all the World Cup giant slalom raced in 2004 on the podium, winning five of them.
