Developers pitch indoor ski slopes in Sunrise, Florida.

No, the title is not a misprint. Developers are pitching an indoor winter theme park in Sunrise, Florida close to Sawgrass Mall.  The theme park will offer skiing, snow boarding sledding, snow mobiling, ice skating, among other activities.  The pitch is sure to attempt to "piggy back" off of business from the Bank Atlantic Center (soon to be renamed BB & T Center) where the Florida Panthers play their home games.  We have heard these "theme parks" proposed in the past but none like an indoor winter theme.  Can this become a reality or is this just a developers fantasy?
