Scheib's first appearance at the World Championships was in Méribel, France, where the Austrian team was fourth in the team event, but she skied out in the second run of the giant slalom. At the end of that season, she earned her first World Cup podium, a third place in the team parallel giant slalom in Soldeu, Andorra.
Her first individual podium was a third place in the giant slalom in October 2024, in the season-opening race in Sölden, Austria. Later that season she competed in the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach, Austria.
Scheib's first World Cup victory came the next season at Sölden, and she followed that up with three more wins (at Tremblant, Semmering, and Kronplatz) along with two second-place finishes. She went to the 2026 Winter Olympics where she finished fifth in the giant slalom. She would lead the giant slalom standings for most of the 2025-26 World Cup, eventually clinching her first discipline title with a round to spare in Åre getting the fifth win of her season and career.
