WHISTLER, B.C. - The Winter X Games will not be coming to Canada in the near future.
Whistler, B.C., had bid for the right to become one of three new hosts cities in ESPN's effort to expand the extreme sports event.
But the resort town and former Olympic host lost out to Barcelona, Munich and Foz do Iguacu, Brazil.
The new cities were selected from a group of nine finalists and will stage summer competitions through 2015.
Whistler was the only winter city to make the shortlist.
The news came as a surprise to Whistler's X Games bid committee.
