Question

Олег очень рад зимнему отпуску.
I understand that the above sentence means that Oleg is happy  with the winter holidays.  
I would like to understand what case  зимнему отпуску is in  and what is the adjective in nominative case from which зимнему is derived ?

Answer

Зимнему отпуску - это dativ case. Nominativ case ( you can find in the dictionary - зимний). Но также может быть - зимняя, зимнее.....зависит от рода существительного, которое стоит после него. Например, зимнее небо, зимняя река....

Answer

It’s the Dative Case. The nominative case form is зИмний. If you need a nominative case form for the adjective and the noun, it’s зИмний Отпуск. 
We might paraphrase this sentence as:
Зимний отпуск радует Олега.
