It makes economic sense to reuse old facilities. Los Angeles did a pretty good job in 1984 and Lake Placid in 1980 the second time they hosted.

So did Innsbruck. Squaw Valley, CA has also hosted once, though California may not be up to the headaches of doing it again.

Winter Olympics, though, must be a worse bet than the Summer. You could always get a professional sports team to use an Olympic stadium in a big city after the games are over. Winter sport facilities are bound to be used less and bring in less money.

Like Montreal. Some of those buildings are still in use.
