Prior to 1992 both summer and winter Olympics were held in the same calendar year. After that year it was decided that the winter Olympics should be held in the off two years from the summer Olympics so in 1994 the winter Olympics were held in Lillihammer, Norway just two years after the previous winter Olympics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Olympic_Games

Yes, in 1992 and 1994. Up to 1992, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year. The International Olympic Committee decided to split the Winter and Summer Games by two years in the hopes of getting more attention for the Games since they would be held two years apart instead of in the same year. To do this, they scheduled the Winter Olympics for 1994, two years after the 1992 Winter Olympics and kept the Summer Olympics scheduled for 1996, four years after the 1992 Summer Olympics. 1992 and 1994 is the only time the Winter Olympics were held two years apart.
The first summer Olympics were held in 1896. The first winter Olympics began in 1924 concurrently with the summer Olympics. 1992, the IOC held separate Olympics alternating in 2 year spans, i.e. winter Olympics last held in 2006, summer Olympics last held in 2008.
