Summary: 

I have tried both both tips foward, and both pointing to the rear. The
best is point the left ski forward, and the right ski toward the rear.
The determining factor on which ski goes in what direction depends on
whether you are driving clockwise or counter clockwise around the
mountain. The wind drag will push the car onw way or the other. If you
put them the wrong way, it will be immediately obvious.  This will allow
you to have both hands free while driving to eat your ding dongs with
taco sauce.

When in the parking lot of your favorite resort, note how the pinheads
do it. They seldom get things like this wrong.
