LA MOLINA, Spain (March 21) - Olympian Tyler Jewell (Steamboat Springs, CO) finished out the 2010 season one step away from the podium, racing to fourth in the parallel giant slalom during World Cup finals in Spain Sunday.

The finish marked Jewell's highest result for the 2010 season. His last podium performance came during the 2008 season during a PGS World Cup in Lake Placid, NY.
Jewell was followed for the U.S. by Vic Wild (White Salmon, WA) in eighth, Chris Klug (Aspen, CO) in 28th and Justin Reiter (Steamboat Springs, CO) was 32nd.
