No. I think the next winter Olympics is in 2010.

AnswerNo. The Olympics are every two years; though the summer is every four years and the winter is every four years but there are only two years in between. The summer Olympics are 2008, so the winter Olympics will be 2010, then the summer Olympics will be 2012, and the next winter Olympics will be 2014.

The Winter Olympic Games are a winter multi-sport event held every four years. They feature winter sports held on snow or ice, such as Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, bobsledding, and Ice Hockey.

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC), as with the Summer Olympics, enters athletes to compete against other NOC's athletes for gold, silver, and bronze medals. Fewer countries participate in the Winter Olympics than the Summer Olympics, due largely to the reduced availability of winter sports in many countries nearer to the Equator, and where access to winter sport training facilities are quite limited or non-existent. Also areas in which the Winter Olympics are usually held, must be near a mountain range where it snows - for the Alpine skiing events. Outdoor natural snow is also a necessity for cross-country skiing.
