The nomad is one of my favorite skis! I have reviewed and posted about them several times. I will say I agree with Phil and even though the Nomad is coming out in a soft version I am hoping to see a 10/20 icelantic Nomad, I can't think of a better setup. The Nomad measures at 146-112-131 (ish) and with that tip/tail rocker, it would be a fantastic soft snow ski. The normal Nomad is fairly stiff, the new "soft" will most likely have a softer tip/tail but fairly stiff underfoot.
Not sure about the "in the back seat" thing with rockered skis; are you referring only to reverse camber skis or all orckered skis even those with some or no camber? I didn't feel I was in the back seat or felt knocked into the back seat on the bent's and I know Phil isn't on his PBR's. My thought is that many folks are mounting them too far back and this is the culprit. The other thing that occurs is a lot of folks who ski piled stuff tend to sit back a little and this exacerbates the issue on rockered tip[ed skis. You can drive the tips hard and not get tips dive. It's another advantage as far as I am concerned. I know It was a mental thing to go ahead and driver the Bent's as hard as I wanted. FWIW- I loved the Bent's in the slushy stuff at Vail. No issues
what ski are you referring to?
