Jones competed in all three events at the 1976 Winter Olympics and finished 9th in the giant slalom, 11th in the downhill, and 19th in the slalom. His all-around performance earned a World Championship bronze medal in the combined event.^[1]

Jones won a World Cup race a few weeks later in the United States at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Teammate Phil Mahre was the runner-up for the first-ever one-two finish by U.S. men in a World Cup race.^[2][3]
