Australian skier Danielle Scott has finished second overall at the aerials World Cup after taking out second place in the final event of the season in Belarus.

The 25-year-old finished first in qualifying and put in a good jump to secure equal fourth in the first final on Saturday.

Scott automatically progressed to the super final, and managed to rack up and impressive 96.93 under pressure.

Ashley Caldwell of the United States responded with a 103.27 to claim the win and also take home the crystal globe as World Cup champion for the season.

Scott said she was happy with second, which was an improvement of one place on last season.

"The strategy today was definitely dealing with the conditions and speed," Scott said.

"I've had a little bit of trouble with that recently, so I just trusted the coaches were putting me in the right places and do what I needed to do," she added.

Fellow Australian Samantha Wells finished eighth overall, with Renee McElduff coming in 17th.
