I've a capital loss carry-over from 2015 & able to use it to offset 2016 gains. But I prefer NOT to do that & instead use the 2015 carry-over in 2017. OK to skip a year?

No, it's not okay to skip a year. You have to carry over the capital loss from year to year. You have no choice about how to use it. Those are the rules.
