So I'm considering this ski as my new ski for this season, and I was just wondering what people, who have ridden them, or dealt with them in person, have to say about them. I've been floating around forums and such but I want real answers. My skiing is generally 55% park and 45% all mountain. So I want a ski that's not gonna washout when I have to ski some crud and ice. (these skis are being considered opposed to armada ar7's) Any insight on either of the two will be greatly appreciated, +k and all that good stuff

i have them and i love them, really soft and buttery. i dont think theyre really meant for all mountain, they have zero camber and are slightly rockered. so not the greatest carving skis i'd say, although i ski about 80-90% park so theyre great for me, i have yet to test em out on a real mountain though since i only have small hills near me.

I have the domains and i love them. I have ski about the same ratio of the mountain as you do, but a little more park. I have taken them from 30 ft jumps to urban rails and they hold up great. I have taken them in a few inches of fresh snow at the top of the mountain, and the 90 waist and slight rocker really helpd, and it was a blast to slash with.  They are prety soft because of the rocker but stiff under foot and did not was out for me.  these skis are so fun to just press and jib everything in sight, buy them andyou wont regret it.

that sounds perfect, i'm liking the idea of the rocker on the tip and tail. sounds like its really good for park, which I like and the only reason i'm asking for all mountain conditions is cause i have to cut a lot of ice and hardpack where i ski. The domain sounds more fun then the ar7 but I'm not sure if the ar7 is still better for all mountain...

I live in new york and ski in vermont so i get a good amount of ice. They hold up well for a symmetrical,rockerd park ski, but thats just what they are so dont expect them to carve amazingly on the hard stuff.   Still the most fun/greatest ski i have ever owned.

I have a pair too, sickest ski ive had, i cracked an edge on a rail after using them twice but i think they was a dud pair or some shit, k2 said they did not cover impact damage but did sell me a new pair at trade, super light, fun ski, very responsive easy to butter and because of the rocker ski fine in crude

Thanks everyone, but I've also heard great things about the armada ar7's and I've heard theyre even BETTER at all mountain. While still killing it in the park.. And Im a die heart armada fan so I'm still peanut towards it. The major thing about the k2 that turns me on is how light and fun it's supposed to be, still not sure....
