Odd question....bear with me as I'm a novice! Just bought my 2014 Nytro and it has wide mountain skis. The front of them are very wide like a boat paddle. Because of this when mine and my friends sleds are on the trailer there is ZERO room to spare width wise. The left ski when on trailer stays nice and straight but the right ski (because of how the front is wide and against the wall of trailer) points slightly inwards by about an inch or 2. Is it bad to keep the sled like this? I wasn't too worried as obviously the skis take quite a beating when on and off trail but I wasn't sure if it could be stored like this over periods of time in between riding without effecting things. Eventually I want to get new skis but I want to see how these perform first. Any thoughts would be great! Thanks!!
 

they are fine. i store mine with pressure on the ski tips from the side for years and have had no issues.
 
Put a 2x4 flat under one of the skis then the other ski will slide under the other, or two 2x4's stacked one on top the other if more height is needed.
That is what I did to get my skis above his because they were rubbing. I use curve skis and the trailer does give any spare room at all. I used a couple of 2" pcs of hardwood with one end cut on a 45 so that the ski can ride up the edge. His ski now goes under mine.
