Britain's James Whitley put in the best performance of his Winter Paralympic career to finish sixth in the men's standing giant slalom in Beijing.
The 24-year-old, in his third Games, had his first top-10 finish when he was ninth in Saturday's downhill.
He was 12th after the opening giant slalom run but had the second-fastest time in the second run to move up the final standings.
Brothers Neil and Andrew Simpson were fifth in the visually impaired race.
Whitley, who was born without hands and does not use skiing poles while competing, also sustained serious injuries in a boating accident when he was six.
He is also a talented racing driver and is part of Team Brit, which features drivers who have physical and intellectual impairments. He has ambitions to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hour race.
Victory went to Finland's Santeri Kiiveri, who finished just 0.04secs ahead of American Thomas Walsh, a childhood friend of two-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin.
The Simpson brothers, who like Whitley will finish their programme in Sunday's slalom, were sixth after their opening run, just over three seconds off the podium.
And although they dealt well with the tricky conditions in their second run, they were unable to challenge for a medal.
Austrian 16-year-old Johannes Aigner won his second gold of the Games to add to his downhill title.
In the seated events, Alex Slegg finished 26th but fellow debutant Dan Sheen failed to complete his second run.
Earlier, the GB wheelchair curlers, who are are already out of contention for the semi-finals, lost 6-3 to defending champions China, who remain on track to retain their title.
After Wednesday's two defeats by Canada and South Korea, GB skip Hugh Nibloe had rued his side's lack of consistency throughout the tournament.
And although GB led 3-2 after four ends, China pulled clear after that to hand GB their sixth defeat from nine games.
They will finish their round-robin campaign against Latvia from 06:35 GMT.
Meanwhile, Ukraine athletes and officials have made an appeal for peace and called for an end to the conflict with Russia.
The Ukraine team remain concerned for their family and friends back home
The team travelled to Beijing following the country's invasion by Russia on 24 February.
Led by National Paralympic Committee president Valerii Sushkevych, the entire 20-member delegation held up a "peace for all" message, accompanied by raised fists and a minute's silence.
"This one minute is about the thousands of people, including children and others with disabilities, back in Ukraine," said Sushkevych.
"If mankind is civilised, then this war must be stopped. People, women and children deserve to live, not die."
Head coach Andriy Nesterenko said that many cities had been destroyed and added that seven members of the team come from Kharkiv, which has been under siege by Russian forces.
"The Russians have bombed many hospitals and schools," he said. "We need your support today, not later. People who attack civilian areas cannot be human. We kindly ask for a safe sky over Ukraine."
Ukraine currently lie third in the medal table behind hosts China and Canada with 19 medals, including six golds, with three days of competition remaining.
