No. It's too hot in the Bahamas and you'll need snow for the skiing and snowboarding events (that's why it's called snowboarding- you ride the board on snow). Even if you tried to import snow from somewhere cold and dump it on the Bahamas, it would probably melt because the Bahamas is too hot for snow. Plus, the Olympics are often held in large cities. I don't know if Nassau would be big enough to hold the Olympics (you'll need alot of hotels to accomodate all those atheletes and visitors) and a lot of free space to build the necessary buildings and other things required for the Olympics.

The next Winter Olympics will be in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2010.
