Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 11 In the Seattle area, the common, though by no means universal, practice is to put the tips up and back. I remember, back in the golden age of northwest skiing, that Bob Cram once recommended this on the KOMO-TV program "Ski-Nanny". (Seattle natives, do you remember that old show?) At the time, I think the recommendation was based on what was best for the skis. Does that make any sense? I leave it as an exercise for the reader. Lowell Skoog John Fluke Mfg. Co. Inc. Everett, WA
