Remember Big Air - the ski and snowboard competition and expo in downtown Denver last year?
The one that saw Metro Denver Sports Commission — in conjunction with the International Ski Federation and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association — build a 106-foot-tall ramp in Civic Center Park?
It's a good thing you remember it, because it won't be back this winter.
Big Air won't be back in 2012 and probably won't ever return, Sue Baldwin, development director for the commission, also known as Denver Sports, told Denver's Westword magazine.
"We would have loved to have made it an annual event, and [the International Ski Federation] was willing to look at it," Badlwin told Westword, "but the timing didn't work."

Here's what the Denver Post reported.
