someone explained it on OurFernie:
"The HST has to be applied to any sales made after May 1st, if the service being purchased will be provided after the July 1st implementation date. Therefore, if you purchase your pass for next year before April 30th, you don’t have to pay the HST that would be due, but if you wait until after May 1st, you do.
Sounds like they didn’t explain it very well, but it’s not a scam."
that being said. The HST petition will be rolling around Fernie shortly. Stay tuned for that and be sure you sign it so that you can save 7% on your ski pass for years to come, and 7% on groceries, and bikes, and newspapers, and eating out. etc etc etc.
