The Winter Olympics were founded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1924. The first Winter Games took place in Chamonix, France, and were organized by Frenchman Henri de Baillet-Latour, who played a significant role in promoting the event. The Winter Olympics were established to showcase winter sports in a similar fashion to the Summer Olympics, which had been held since 1896.
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.
If the Olympics stay on their current schedule the Olympics in 2034 will be Winter Games and if the Olympic Committee sticks to it's practice of choosing the city 7 years in advance we won't know until 2027.
