  Stiegler's trademark is the tiger ears she usually wears atop her helmet.

  After a series of injuries, Stiegler made her first World Cup podium in March 2012, a runner-up finish at a slalom in Ofterschwang, Germany.  It was her first top ten finish in over four years. In a November, 2012 interview, Stiegler had recovered on schedule and was set to compete in the 2012–13 season as planned.
