Skis and ski rack question

Alright so I figure someone here will know the answer.

I have a jeep patriot and the rails are far back, I have a snowcat rack for reference.

I have a pair of twins and some Volant supers (really bendy metal ski) If i have the tips of the Volants facing the back, I can't open my back. B/c they are mounted far back. Is it bad if I have the tips facing forward with the wind speed of the car? I know people do it with twins, these are just really flexy skis and I am afraid they are going to keep flappn' up there.

Thanks +karma fo sho.

if you have enough room you could just not stack them and put them next to each other with the tips facing down. if you have to put other skis or boards on there it might now work well but just an option

yup strap them down with bungie cords and you should be fine, might hurt your gas mileage a bit but thats all
