She won the dual moguls event in Livigno, Italy, beating American superstar Jaelin Kauf 22-13 to claim top spot on the podium.
She did it on the same slopes next year's Winter Olympics will be held.
"It hasn't sunk in yet," Wilson told the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA).

"This is an incredible day and an incredible feeling. I'm kind of lost for words.
"This is incredible, probably my best skiing this season. I'm just so happy.
"I spoke earlier about wanting that momentum from yesterday to carry on and I really think it did today.
"I was going to give it my best shot. You don't get these opportunities all the time.
"It was crazy to just be able to keep up with Jaelin, let alone win."
It was a stunning upset given Kauf was the in-form athlete on the circuit.
Wilson had earlier upset France's Perrine Laffont in the semi final.
Wilson will now look to repeat her efforts at the 2026 Games in Milano Cortina.
