Harrold (14) has claimed silver at the World Rookie Tour freeski slopestyle finals in Italy.
It is the youngster’s fourth podium finish this northern hemisphere season.
"I am happy to be on the podium," Harrold said.
"I think I was capable of doing a bit better than I did, so I am already looking forward to coming back and getting redemption next year."
Although it was a pared-back run for Harrold, he still landed an impressive jump combination that included back-to-back right and left double cork 1440s on the second and third jumps, and he spun all four directions on the jumps and rails throughout his run.
The silver followed two golds and a bronze for Harrold in halfpipe competitions.
Queenstown skier Cooper Breen (13) was also competing in the slopestyle finals yesterday, finishing fifth.
"It was hard for me to clear the jumps with the wind and the inconsistent speeds," Breen said.
"I managed to put a full run down which I am pleased about, but I definitely had a lot more in me."
Snow Sports NZ development coach Brad Prosser said the Otago pair both found the course tricky.
"Both Luke and Cooper are reasonably light, so speed became an issue with the uphill wind," Prosser said.
"Despite the adverse conditions, they both landed runs, which is a huge accomplishment. I am proud of them both."
