Well this is a little out of sequence, but I bought these skis. I am a lifelong dh skier and snowboarder.... A 20 year mtber surrounded by hilly terrain for miles, (giant fields, jeep roads, ungroomed trails, some informal track powerlines, bike trails).... umm anything I should know before I clip in and take off?

Off the top of my head: first, if you have some bad habits from alpine skiing you won't be able to get away with them on cross-country skis. Namely, what is see the most from skiers new to nordic skis is trying to lean back to slow down. If you start to lean backward on nordic skis there is nothing to keep you from falling on your can, so don't lean back. Keeping relaxed, slightly bent knees and flexible ankles will help. Snowplow to slow instead of leaning back. And second, try to remember that you have no edges. I'm sure you can find videos on youtube to instruct you on your form. Good luck, have fun.
