Nasty drop in ski run? Forget it (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skip it

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'forget it' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'nasty drop in ski run?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drop' could be 'skip' (skipping is a kind of dropping) and 'skip' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'it' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skip it that I've seen before include "Pass over a subject - while spinning a rope?" , "Never mind, let it pass" , "Never mind, it doesn't matter" , "Ignore something" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
