I beleive you can just like boil the tips and then bend em while they're still hot. Im not 100% sure that'll work though

im pretty sure u need to use a torch and heat them up extremely hot and then bend them a little bit. i would do it with a ski u dont care about ruining first and see how it comes out tho

a heat gun would work well too. You jsut have to make sure not to blister the base.

you can do it with the blades of hockey sticks...but the issue being that as soon as you torch or boil etc.. a wood fiberglass product it greatly weakens it...thus the ski's will be much easier to break etc...but I can see it working with skis the same as hockey sticks...but as someone else said...i'd try it with something you don't care about at first...don't want to ruin a perfectly good pair of skis

Boiling the tails, stick them in a door jam. Yank on them hard, Repeat untill they are twin.
