Great Britain won one gold and two silvers at the World Para Snow Sports Championships on Monday
Three-time Paralympic medallist Millie Knight continued her preparations for March's Beijing Games with World Championship gold in Lillehammer.
Knight won the super combined visually-impaired skiing title with guide Brett Wild.
Fellow Briton Menna Fitzpatrick took silver with Katie Guest.
In the men's event, Britain's Neil Simpson won silver alongside his brother and guide Andrew.
Knight held a comfortable lead after the opening super-G run and, although Fitzpatrick cut the gap in the slalom, 23-year-old Knight held on to win by 0.52 seconds.
It was the second medal of the week for Knight, who has had to deal with concussion issues and a back injury in recent years.
"With all the injuries and rehab, actually both Brett and I have done together, it's been really tough, really tough both physically and mentally," she said.
"We genuinely never thought we'd be back here and to win a gold in this event. It's amazing."
The event in Norway is the last major competition before the Paralympics, which take place in China from 4-13 March.
