The last time the Winter Olympics were held in Lake Tahoe was in 1960 at Squaw Valley. Organizers of an effort to bring a future Winter Olympics to Reno and Lake Tahoe said Thursday they are encouraged by new poll results that show a majority of area residents support the idea.
The survey also revealed that the two primary reasons those were opposed and don’t want the Olympic Games here – traffic congestion during the events as well as problems related to construction leading up to them.
Fifty-one percent of those surveyed said they support or strongly support the idea of Reno-Tahoe hosting a future Olympic Winter Games while 31 percent said they do not or strongly do not, with 18 percent answering “not sure.”
