so proud of ya!
yes, ski them more neutral, they aren't designed to be skied like a race ski, but you can arc them for sure. you will find they will be a blast in even 6" of fresh. The TR on a rockered or multi-dimensional ski like a R7 or the JJ is not calculated the same as traditional skis so you really have to ignore that, it's really irrelevant anyway, again, you aren't skiing it like a traditional ski. It likes to be two-footed as the overall mass of the ski is such that when it hooks up with the snow, it has a huge amount of power, much more than the surface area of a 72mm wide board, its just basic physics. I don't one foot a Nomad either, although you will notice it more on a rocker. You can really pivot it in powder from a neutral stance, it makes turns so much easier and requires so much less effort. Ira experienced that last week on his ObSeth's, although he is an expert skier; especially in powder and trees, he couldn't believe the ease of turns. Congrats! Try different things on them to see what works best for you but certainly drift/skid/brush or whatever you want to call it a with a little up/down (forward) with a slight tip (60/40) on the down with that slightly reaching pole plant and watch how quick they turn! is a very effective way to ski. you will find they just plane up much better and intitate better.
