He had 100 starts in the FIS Snowboard World Cup and scored four podium finishes, including one win in Moscow in 2015 - the first win by an American in a parallel competition for a decade. Reiter also finished third in the overall parallel standings for the 2014-15 season. In 2016 he filed suit against the International Olympic Committee in 2016 to save parallel slalom, which had been dropped from the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic program.{{Cite web|url=https://www.summitdaily.com/news/peak-performers-nominee-justin-reiter-snowboarding/|title=Peak Performers nominee: Justin Reiter, snowboarding}} In September 2017 he announced his retirement.
