The XVI Winter X Games Maltais took home her first medal that was gold as well as X Games champion in 2012. The following year, she had numerous wins during the World Cup tour that year and also a home-country win on Blue Mountain. This win, along with other things contributed to her winning her second consecutive Crystal Globe championship as the overall winner of the FIS tour. The success continued into the next season, where Maltais was able to win several events during the beginning of the season. Maltais was also able to achieve an additional achievement by winning silver medal at 2013, the World Snowboarding Championships which took place in her hometown region of Quebec. In the finals, she was second, and finish close to her teammate Ricker who was the first to win their debut World Championship gold medal there.

At Turin, Maltais was in the final four alongside the fellow Canadian Maelle Ricker. Ricker was injured in the beginning stages and Maltais was thrown off the corner further down. After the two competitors (Tanja Frieden, and Lindsey Jacobellis) finished, Maltais was able to climb back up and finish in the final race.

At the Olympics she qualified through easily, Maltais was looking for some redemption from the previous Olympics where she crashed out in Vancouver. She qualified through from the semi’s when, after a tough battle for the second position, Lindsey Jacobellis crashed when she was way out in front. This paved the way for Maltais to enter the final. In that event Eva Samkova who had dominated the event, from her fastest qualifying position through to the final, won gold but an elated Maltais followed her through for silver. The medal lifted a weight off of her and she said that “It’s a good revenge for Vancouver. I wanted to prove to the world that I could do better than in Vancouver. I’m so so happy it’s done and I made it and I finished on the podium.”
