The 16-year-old made strong jumps in the first two rounds of the competition to finish with 167 points.

New Zealand’s Olympic slopestyle champion Zoi Sadowski-Synnott took gold with 183.25, while Austria’s Anna Gasser was third with 159.25.

Brookes became the youngest world champion in snowboard history with slopestyle gold in February.

She has finished on the podium in three of her seven World Cup appearances.

“I’m really happy with how I rode. I wasn’t able to put down my third run but that was OK because when I dropped in I knew I was on the podium,” Brookes said.

Brookes will next compete at the World Cup event in Copper Mountain, Colorado, from 13-16 December.
