The 19-year-old Scot finished fourth in her first World Cup appearance last weekend in Austria after bad weather ended the competition early.
Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland won, with Italy's Flora Tabanelli coming third.
The second place was Muir's 10th consecutive top-10 finish since the Silvaplana World Cup in 2021.
Muir was first in the standings after two jumps but saw her third attempt ruled out to end on a combined total of 167.25.
"I'm super happy with how today went, the weather was perfect and the jump felt really good," said Muir.
"I'm proud of how I skied, and really excited to have my first podium of the season but also my first Big Air World Cup podium.
"My last run didn't go to plan, I wanted to try a different grab in my 14 but I'm excited to try it again at the next competition. Very grateful overall."
The next event moves to Colorado's Copper Mountain in the United States from 13 to 16 December.
