LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — New York State has created a committee to evaluate whether it’s feasible for Lake Placid to host another Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, this time in partnership with New York City.
Gov. Kathy Hochul says the committee will explore whether the two cities could host the 2042 Winter Olympics using existing venues and whether hosting the games would be financially sustainable. Lake Placid hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1980, but New York City has never hosted the games.

This comes as the Winter Olympics are trending toward a multi-host city model. During the 2026 Winter Olympics, competitions were scattered across the northern Italian cities of Milan, Cortina, and Livigno, rather than having a single campus. The 2030 Winter Olympics will have a similar model, taking place across the French Alps.
The committee aims to understand whether hosting the Olympics could support the state’s economic, tourism, infrastructure, and regional development goals. It’s also aiming to get feedback from the public and from stakeholders. At the end, the members will submit their findings to state leaders. Hochul says the creation of the committee doesn’t mean that the state has committed to putting in a bid for the Olympics.
The 2026 Winter Olympics were quite a success for Rochester-area athletes, with hockey player Haley Winn and freestyle skier Chris Lillis both coming home with gold medals. You can see our Olympics coverage here.
