Robinson, 24, played to her strengths, setting a blistering pace at the Andorra round of the super G world cup to claim a silver medal at the Soldeu resort.
After a challenging couple of months, including finishing eighth in her two events at the Milano Cortina Olympics, Robinson showed her attacking form, beating eventual winner Emma Aicher on the technical third sector of the course.
She crossed the line in 1min 27.6sec, 0.88sec behind Aicher, the double Milano Cortina silver medallist, who recorded her second super G win of the season.
The result means Robinson maintains her second place in the super G standings with 300 points.
She trails leader Sofia Goggia by just 20 points, making her a real contender in the Crystal Globe chase. Aicher is third with 224 points, ahead of the injured Lindsey Vonn.
Robinson was buzzing after the race.
"I’m really happy. It was such a nice day and such an amazing slope.
"I had great feelings all the way down. I love it here in Andorra and have a pretty good track record, so I wanted to keep it going."
Robinson said she was able to play to her strengths to optimise the course to her advantage.
"I think I executed the steep part really well. I knew the top section wasn’t my kind of course — really flat and glidey — so I’m proud of myself for getting the most out of sections I knew I could ski fast."
Robinson, more of a giant slalom specialist, broke through in super G with a gold medal at the St Moritz round of the world cup last year, followed by a second place in Val d’Isere.
This year has proven more challenging with two DNFs and a series of results outside the top 10 across super G, downhill and giant slalom.
However, Robinson said her confidence has returned.
"Even though I didn’t get a medal at the Olympics, I was happy with how I skied.
"I felt I executed well and want to finish off the season well.
"Maybe this is the thing that’s going to get my confidence back where it needs to be."
Robinson was in action overnight for a second super G race.
