ski tips

Upturned board ends

Ski tips are the front ends of skis—the curved, upturned portions that help skis glide over snow rather than digging in.

The tips rise to prevent catching on uneven terrain.

In skiing instruction, "keep your tips up" reminds beginners to maintain proper form.

Watch your ski tips when getting on the chairlift.
