McEachern took silver in the event in 2020. The Canadian has competed in one slopestyle World Cup this season back in November.
The COVID-19 pandemic that has decimated the international competition calendar also had McEachran competing in front of zero fans Sunday at Buttermilk Mountain's terrain park.
"It feels really good to be on the podium here two years in a row and add another one to the start of the collection," McEachran said.
"Obviously we didn't have too many contests since last year's X Games. Kind of came here not knowing what to think or what to expect, but just got here and kind of put that out of my mind, skied the best I could and manage the course.
