Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, Vt.) landed her fourth individual FIS World Cup snowboardcross podium of the season in Baqueira Beret, Spain on Saturday.

"I am very happy to have another podium, and I loved being in Spain again," said Jacobellis. "Right now I am focused on all things production for Supergirl Snow Pro. When I arrive back in Europe I can focus on the course and doing my best to hopefully win a globe. Every year this sport becomes more competitive, especially on the women’s side. I have enjoyed watching the sport develop and I am very happy that I am still winning after all of these years."

Jacobellis has climbed from third to the top spot is the FIS Cup Standings tied with Czech Republic’s Eva Samkova. With only one World Cup left on the schedule, the race for the crystal globe is coming down to the wire.
