The two-year period between the Albertville and Lillehammer Olympics occurred because the IOC decided that having the summer and the winter games in the same cycle was unnecessarily splitting both the attention and the advertising revenue raised by such events.

It was only 2 years between (Albertville 1992) and (Lillehammer 1994). Te reason is because the IOC wanted to try something new.
Was winter Olympics ever held at two year interval?
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.
Why was there no winter Olympics in 1992?

When did the olympic schedule change from all games every 4 years to winter and summer every 2 years?
The winter Olympics began in 1924 and through 1992 when the Winter Olympics were held in Albertville, France they occurred every 4 years in the same year as the summer Olympics. At that time it was determined that the Winter and Summer Olympics would occur every 4 years alternating every two years. Therefore, in order to get onto a 2 year cycle, the Winter Olympics were held two years after the 1992 games in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway. After 1994 they resumed the 4 year cycle, occurring in 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010. The Summer games maintained the 4 year cycle, and occurred 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and will occur again in 2012.
How many years were there between the two Los Angeles Olympics?
The Summer Olympic games are held every 4 years, in years evenly divisible by 4. The Winter Olympic Games are also held every 4 years, offset by 2 years from the Summer Games. So there is a two-year interval between any given Summer Olympics and the preceding or following Winter Games. The change to the schedule of the modern Olympics was made in 1994, so there were Winter Olympics in both 1992 and 1994. Previously they were held the same year as the Summer Olympics, beginning in 1924.
Why did they not have the 2004 Olympics?
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

Did the summer and winter Olympics bo held at the same time?
Not anymore. From 1896 to 1920, there were no Winter Games -- only Summer Games which were held in 1896, 1900, 1904, 1906, 1908, 1912, 1916, and 1920. In 1924, the first modern Winter Games were held in Chamonix, France. The Summer and Winter Olympics continued to occur every 4 years with the Summer Games and Winter Games happening in the same year but in different cities. 1992 was the last year that this occurred. After 1992, the Winter Olympics occurred next in 1994 and the Summer Olympics in 1996. Ever since, they have alternated every 2 years.
