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.
