After returning from the injury, Zavarzina struggled to regain her form throughout the &lt;a href="2011%E2%80%9312%20FIS%20Snowboard%20World%20Cup"&gt;2011/12 season&lt;/a&gt;, her eighth-place finish in Telluride was her best performance of the season. In the following season, her results started to improve. Although she did not manage to reach World Cup podium during the season, she made a couple of fourth-place finishes in Bad Gastein and Arosa. At the 2013 World Championships in Stoneham, Zavarzina was unable to defend her World title and eliminated in the quarter finals in the parallel giant slalom event. In the parallel slalom, she was knocked out from the competition in the first elimination round.
