Howden was second and Thompson third on the Val Thorens course Sunday.
The Canadian beat runner-up Ryan Regez of Switzerland and bronze medallist Francois Place of France in the head-to-head final.
Extreme winds had forced the cancellation of Saturday s World Cup to Monday.
Howden, 22, raced part-time last season because he was studying geomatics â geographic data â at Calgary s Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.
