Detroit made a pretty strong push for the Winter Olympics at some point in the 60s or 70s; I have a newspaper supplement that was published at the time about it. Apparently, it came fairly close to happening. There aren't really any world-class ski resorts in the area around here either, but they were going to build something for it. I'll try and find the booklet at some point if I get the chance.
