Owens struggled to make the top 30 consistently and did not score any more World Cup points until 21 December 2001, again in St Moritz.

The following year, Owens decided to make a comeback in order to compete in the new Olympic event of ski cross.

While Owens made the podium on several occasions during her World Cup ski cross career, she suffered several injuries prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics and underwent two knee surgeries in the lead-up to the Games, the second of which was only four weeks beforehand.

Owens has had two silver and two bronze medals on the Freestyle World Cup tour to date in her career.

Owens competed on the Alpine World Cup for six years, with placement in the top 30 several times in the Combined and Downhill events.
